Group Behavior Factors & Work Team Outcomes

The purpose of this research study is to investigate the effects of group factors on work team outcomes. Specifically the study investigated effects of team membership on group factors and the ability of these group factors to predict organizational and employee outcomes. Subjects for the study included 30 male and 30 female employees, ten from each of three workgroups (programmers, analysts, or testers), chosen from those who volunteered from a local software development company. The hypotheses tested effects of team memberships on group factors of: autonomy, cohesion, diversity, conflict, training, rewards, empowerment, communication, and leadership and the ability of these group factors to predict organizational (increased quantity, quality, and timeliness) and employee (increased well being and work skills) outcomes. This study resulted in the following conclusions: group membership affected group cohesion, diversity, training, rewards, and leadership; group cohesion, diversity, rewards, and leadership predict quantity outcomes; group diversity and leadership predict quality outcomes; group cohesion, diversity, communication, and leadership predict timeliness outcomes; and group rewards predict work skill outcomes.
