Tiivistelmä
The aim of this study is to analyse diversity in team learning behaviour between and among
national respondents’ perceptions during a military staff exercise (CJSE). Edmondson’s team
learning behaviour model is used as the theoretical basis of the study. The results showed sta tistically significant differences both between and among national respondents’ perceptions. The
research results indicate that team leader coaching, team psychological safety, the importance
of obtaining expert knowledge as well as pre-exercise training are perceived to be crucial for
team learning behaviour. The study has theoretical and practical implications for a more nuanced
understanding of the diversity of team learning behaviour in the context of a multinational mili tary teamwork exercise and for working as a part of multinational temporal teams in particular.
