  • Meyer, Bertolt; Schermuly, Carsten C.; Kauffeld, Simone (2015): That’s not my place. The interacting effects of faultlines, subgroup size, and social competence on social loafing behaviour in work groups. In: European Journal of Work and Organizational Psychology 25 (1), S. 31-49. DOI: 10.1080/1359432X.2014.996554

    Abstract: Taking a social relations approach to team diversity, the authors propose that faultlines - hypothetical dividing lines that split a team into relatively homogeneous subgroups - impact the team members' propensity to exhibit social loafing behaviour. They further propose that this individual-level reaction to the faultline structure of the team can differ among team members, depending on the size of their subgroup and on their individual social competence. These assumptions were tested in a sample of real teams working on an intellective task during which social loafing behavior was video-coded. In partial support of the hypotheses, generalized mixed models revealed that social loafing behavior was most common for team members who were part of a team with strong faultlines, who belonged to the larger subgroup in their team, and who exhibited low levels of social competence. These results highlight the benefits of taking a multilevel approach to the effects of faultlines. zitiert von 29
