Organizational Structure and Leadership Factors as Determinants of Small Group Performance
Abstract
The major developmental effort has been in establishing a biofeedback system for the automatic self-regulation task. Following the 'tooling up' phase of our work, experiments were conducted which focused upon motivational and organizational variables influencing group and individual performance, social interactions, and morale. Experiments have been conducted as part of this protocol with the objective of determining how human subjects, when given the opportunity to earn money for either themselves individually or through group effort chose to distribute their work performance under conditions where a group effort was most efficient to protect accumulated earnings from possible loss.
