Work-Group Design and Autonomy: A Field Study of the Interaction Between Task Interdependence and Group Autonomy

Langfred, Claus W.·2000·Small Group Research

Abstract

Survey results of employees and managers from 25 work groups in a large technology firm demonstrate the moderating effect of within-group task interdependence on the relationship between group autonomy and effectiveness. As hypothesized, autonomy has a positive influence on work group effectiveness when task interdependence is high and a negative effect when task interdependence is low.

  • For a group to carry out a learning task, not all group members need to possess all necessary knowledge, or process all available information alone and at the same time.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
