Psychological safety is the belief that one will not be punished or humiliated for speaking up with ideas, questions, concerns, or mistakes.[1][2] In teams, it refers to team members believing that they can take risks without being shamed by other team members.[3] In psychologically safe teams, team members feel accepted and respected contributing to a better "experience in the workplace".[4][5][6] It is also the most studied enabling condition in group dynamics and team learning research.
