Özet:The relationship between cohesion and performance in project teams has received substantial attention, however limited number of studies investigated antecedents of team cohesion and the mediator role of team cohesion, between its antecedents and team success. The purpose of this research was to investigate the effects of team autonomy, organizational support and team cohesion on team success and to examine the existence of mediating effect of team cohesion between its antecedents and project team success. In the predicted model, the effects of the task and social dimensions of team cohesion were examined separately in accordance with the literature. Project team success was discussed in terms of effectiveness and innovation in line with project team literature. Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Model (PLS-SEM) was used in the study carried out in 110 project teams (343 team members) in a multinational financial institution. The findings of the research revealed that organizational support was a significant antecedent of task cohesion and team effectiveness and one of the cohesion dimensions of task cohesion, had a partial mediating role between organizational support and team effectiveness. In addition, although the significant positive effects of team autonomy on team effectiveness and team innovation were confirmed, it appeared that none of the dimensions of team cohesion had a mediating role in this relation. In accordance with the literature, a positive effect of team task cohesion on team effectiveness and team innovation was supported, however no significant effect of social cohesion was found.
