Group Size and Task Interdependence
- Reciprocal task interdependence
- Each group members performance is dependent on other group members work (sharing of information, interacting with others necessary to achieve goals [R &D teams, self managed work teams])
- Relatively small size because of necessity to coordinate team members‘ acitivities (e.g. communication difficulties increase with group size)
- Group members are usually to be rewarded on group performance (as far as individual performance is difficult to be measured)
