Task Interdependence as a Moderator of the Relation Between Group Control and Performance
研究调查了77个服务与制造团队，发现任务相互依赖性越高，群体决策控制对绩效的正向作用越强；低相互依赖的团队增加控制反而可能损害绩效。
Data were collected from the managers of 77 groups in a large service organization and a large manufacturing organization. The results revealed that the relation between group control over decision making and group performance became more positive with increased levels of task interdependence. The main implication of the findings is that increasing group control over decisions may result in high performance only for groups that are highly task interdependent. The performance of groups that are low in task interdependence may suffer when provided with group-level control of decisions.
