| Abstract: | The authors examine the joint effects of task interdependence on group behavior and performance. They develop a model that predicts that task and reward interdependence will interact to increase performance, and present results of a laboratory experiment that confirms the prediction. They explore the efficacy of group reward systems for different task designs, and the relationship between cooperation and performance. The authors confirm earlier results on the weakness of the free-rider effect in small face-to-face groups. |
