%0 Journal Article %T Trust and team coordination in critical situations %A Adrian H. Pitariu %J Psihologia Resurselor Umane %D 2008 %I Romanian Association for Industrial and Organizational Psychology %X In this paper I explore the process of team coordination. I propose a model by which team coordination emerges as a function of team mental models and team trust. Furthermore, I introduce a hierarchical approach to team mental models, and propose a framework that provides a better understanding of team processes and opens new avenues of research in the area of team cognition. I conclude with implications for future research and practice. %K team processes %K team mental models %K trust %K coordination. %U http://www.apio.ro/pru/archive/2008_vol6_1_2.pdf
