Description
Summary:The relationship between individual difference variables and the contribution to team functioning was examined in 58 members of management teams. Extraversion and self‐efficacy for working in teams were related to attraction to the team, which in turn was related to a rating of team effectiveness. Extraversion was also related directly to team effectiveness. The relationship between conscientiousness and team functioning was not clear. The results are considered supportive for the validity of self‐efficacy for teams and extraversion as indicators of the ability and propensity of individuals to contribute to the functioning of management teams.
