Resumen

We present an experimental design approach for identifying theoptimal levels of the key internal and external environmental conditions ofshared leadership, which, in turn, would enable an engineering team to developand maximise the degree of shared leadership. A full factorial design is appliedto evaluate four control factors (shared purpose, social support, voice andexternal coaching) at two levels and analyse one output metric, defined as‘team centralisation’. Our analysis shows that the four factors are the maincontributors to the output metric. However, interactions between the factors areeither weak contributors or do not contribute at all to the performance of theoutput metric. We conclude that having high levels of the three internal teamenvironmental factors and the external coaching environmental conditionresults in the greatest degree of shared leadership in the senior designenvironment.
