Team Members’ Affective Responses to Patterns of Intragroup Interdependence and Job Complexity
研究114名技术顾问发现，任务相互依赖和工作复杂性正向影响个人和团队满意度及承诺；高结果相互依赖团队中这种关系更强，而工作复杂性可缓解相互依赖不匹配的负面效应。
In this questionnaire study, the relations between the affective reactions of 114 technical consultants and both intragroup interdependence and job complexity were examined. Individual-level task interdependence and job complexity were found to be positively related to individual job satisfaction, team satisfaction, job commitment, and team commitment. Cross-level interactions showed the positive relations between task interdependence and the affective outcomes to be stronger in high outcome interdependent teams than in low outcome interdependent teams. Specifically, a proper match between high task interdependence and high group-level outcome interdependence was found to produce more positive affective responses than “low-high” and “high-low” mismatches. The unfavorable effects of mismatched task and outcome interdependence on job satisfaction and job commitment were found to be mitigated by high levels of job complexity.
