Implications of member role differentiation: analysis of a key concept in the LMX model of leadership
Article Abstract:
Research on the leader-member exchange leadership model has indicated that employees in the same work group are differentiated according to their level of negotiating latitude. The effect of role differentiation on the affective reactions of group members was investigated. Groups consisting of six members and a leader were asked to accomplish a task. The members were then asked to complete assessments of their negotiating latitude and their affective reactions toward the leader, the task, and other workers. The results were consistent with the hypothesis that groups with higher degrees of negotiating latitude were more satisfied with their leader, the task, and their co-workers. There was a negative relationship between the differentiation of follower roles and the level of negotiating latitude, and the differentiation of follower roles and task satisfaction.

The relationship of accountability and interdependent behavior to enhancing team consequences
Article Abstract:
Accountability positively influences team consequences with interdependent behavior acting to moderate this relationship. There exist differences in the methods and outcome of accomplishing tasks since individuals are held responsible for their behavior. Effective management of task-interdependent behavior results in team synergy wherein team output is greater than the combined contributions of each individual. Team accountability and interdependent behavior are evaluated relative to team consequences using the team as the unit of measure in multiple regression analysis. Teams with a high degree of accountability have a greater likelihood of experiencing high interdependent behavior resulting in greater team success and satisfaction as compared with teams without accountability experience.

Organizational script development through interactive accommodation
Article Abstract:
Twenty-three female and male students participated in a study which analyzed the process by which organizational scripts are developed which moderate commonly occurring activities in organizations. Scripts are defined as cognitive structures which store information of activities for particular events. Research findings indicate that members of a newly formed test organization utilized a group of actions when engaging in joint activities via interactive awareness of subunit goals. Research results reveal that evidence exists to support the notion of behavioral and cognitive organizational scripts utilized by organizational members.
