Because reflexivity (including some of the behaviors that) is caused of learning from past mistakes and errors (team learning) improve the performance of the team. The present study attempts to demonstrate the key role of the team reflexivity on team performance (especially in a project team with complex tasks in an environment with high uncertainty). In this regard, impact of team reflexivity on team  performance (considering the intervention role of team learning) in 44 five-member project team (including 220) were studied in Tehran. The findings supported a significant positive impact of team reflexivity on team performance through team learning. Furthermore, the findings also showed feedback seeking has a moderating impact on the effect of team reflexivity on team performance.
