Abstract

Psychological safety has been shown to facilitate learning from experience that can help organizations adapt to the changing marketplace. 125 CEOS and 436 executives from 125 companies in China completed measures of psychological safety, goal interdependence and shared rewards. The results of two structural equation analyses suggest that shared rewards can convince departments that their goals are cooperative and that this conclusion in turn leads to psychological safety. These results were interpreted as suggesting that shared rewards and cooperative goals are important foundations for organizational psychological safety in China and perhaps other countries as well.
