Question

Moe is an average worker stuck on a team of complacent workers. Nick is an innovator who produces triple the amount of the average worker. Wyatt is a slacker who has been placed on Nick's team. Shanda is an average worker on an average team. Leroy is the hardest worker on Shanda's team.
1. Which of these individuals would probably benefit most from high outcome interdependence at work?A. ShandaB. MoeC. WyattD. LeroyE. Nick

Answer 1

Answer:

Wyatt

Explanation:

High outcome interpendence is a concept that encourages cooperation between members on a team. It shows that if a team wins all members will benefit, and if the team fails all members will be adversely affected.

In this scenario Wyatt who is a slacker in the team of Nick will stand to gain more.

In a high outcome interpendence scenario Nick will be forced to improve on the performance of Wyatt in order to meet team objectives.

The other average workers will only gain a little from increased cooperation.
