Description
Teams are being used more than ever in the workplace (e.g., Hackman, 2002). Perhaps in response to this phenomenon, courses taught in higher education, particularly in professional colleges and faculties, frequently have students work together in teams in completing part or all of the course work. The success of this technique, however, is mixed, with some studies showing that students like this form of learning and other students do not (Bacon, Stewart, & Sliver, 1999). There is little empirical research examining specifically what variables are important in producing a positive team experience for students in higher education settings. Thus, the rationale for this study was to identify what those variables might be and how they are linked together so as to inform higher education stakeholders about creating an effective team learning experience. Within this broader framework, there were several specific purposes of this study. The first was to assess the relationships between basic personality traits and the more context-specific individual difference of a "team player" predisposition. The second purpose was to assess the degree to which team player predisposition and team leadership were related to team trust. The third purpose was to assess the relationship between team trust and team interdependence. Finally the relationships between team trust, team interdependence and team outcomes were assessed. In the next section of this paper, the rationales for the specific hypotheses related to the more general purposes are developed.
