Distinction entre la compréhension partagée et la conscience situationnelle d'équipe : une revue systématique de littérature

Abstract

The correct assimilation of Shared Understanding (SU) and Team Situational Awareness (TSA) is fundamental within organizational environments. Given their importance, these two concepts are widely discussed in the literature. Several studies examined the TSA and SU in depth because they are considered as pillars in the decision-making process. However, there is a lack of synthesis on the evolution of these notions, which makes them difficult to identify and to implement or even to develop further. Also, very few of these studies have reflected on the differences between TSA and SU, which raises the question of choosing the appropriate use of one or the other to deal with a given decision-making situation. Thus this study carries out a review of systematic literature to trace the evolution of those two notions and to show in particular how they are similar and in what they differ. First, the main authors who contributed to the evolution of the two notions separately were determined and their main contributions were presented. Then a comparison of the TSA and SU was made through the crossing of the different definitions of the two blocks. This crossing occurred through the use of recurring items identified during the comprehensive analysis that can be seen in the appendix. The resulting synthesis provides readers with a vision of the areas of agreement and discord in the literature regarding the TSA and SU. Thus, one hand, this research aims to fill the lack of literature that concerns the evolution schema of TSA and the SU and draws its relevance deeply. On the other hand, the differences and similarities identified bring added value for researchers by exposing future research tracks that deserve to be explored.
