Resumen: Teams are increasingly charged with networked interaction across both team and organizational boundaries in order to achieve complex and higher-order goals. This requires new organizational designs, but academia has not yet provided theoretical models focused on the synchronization of teams as opposed to their isolated effectiveness. As a response, we will integratively discuss two predictive models to improve our understanding of the nature of performance processes in larger interdependent systems of teams. In doing so, we placed goal hierarchy and functional process interdependence and its congruent combinations as antecedents of multiteam systems (MTSs) performance. Our frameworks are grounded on the idea that goal hierarchy characteristics and functional process interdependence affect both motivation and coordination processes differentially across levels within the system (component teams and MTSs respectively), and influence each other reciprocally in the course of emergent interaction among component teams affecting MTS performance. The implications of the models for MTSs research and effective management will be discussed.
