Incentives and cooperation: the joint effects of task and reward interdependence on group performance

Article Abstract:

A model was developed to assess the enhancing effect of task and reward interdependence on group performance. Results show that while reward has a specific effect on the overall and final outcome of performance, task interdependence was shown to be more significant in stimulating cooperative behavior. This implies that while rewards are significant in the redesign of work processes, this must not be done without considering the cooperative aspect that can be derived from the process.

Results revealed that leaders whose performance are dependent on the performance of their subordinates issue more immediate, frequent, and directive feedback than those whose success are independent on their subordinates' performance.
