Informational dissimilarity and organizational citizenship behavior: The role of intrateam interdependence and team identification
Article Abstract:
A questionnaire study of 129 members of 20 multidisciplinary project teams was done to examine the relationship between informational dissimilarity and both team identification and organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) for individuals working under different interdependence configurations. Results revealed that under congruent low-low and high-high combinations of task and goal interdependence, informational dissimilarity was unrelated to team identification and OCB.

Expertness diversity and interpersonal helping in teams: Why those who need the most help end up getting the least
Article Abstract:
The multilevel theory of the intragroup dynamics and performance outcomes associated with diversity in levels of member expertise in task-oriented teams are developed and tested. It is argued drawing from theories of power and dependence, that in groups where members differ in their perceived expertness, members would be more committed to and more likely to help those seen as more expert, a dynamic that frustrates intragroup learning and compromises group performance.

System breakdown: The role of mental models and transactive memory in the relationship between acute stress and team performance
Article Abstract:
Information-processing theory was used as an explanatory framework to examine the mediational role of mental models and transactive memory in the relationship between acute stress and team performance. Results for 97 teams working on a command-and-control simulation indicated that acute stress negatively affected mental models and transactive memory, which helped to explain the poor performance of the teams under acute stress.
