Team Tasks

The video tutorial discusses task allocation in group processes, highlighting the types of tasks teams might undertake, such as production, idea generation, and problem-solving.

• Team members do not depend on each other at all.

• Team members work on tasks individually and combine efforts at the end.

In which type of interdependence does each team member complete their task before passing it to the next person?

• Reciprocal interdependence

• Pooled interdependence

• Outcome interdependence

• Sequential interdependence

How does reciprocal interdependence differ from pooled interdependence?

• Tasks are completed individually in reciprocal interdependence.

• Reciprocal interdependence involves no communication among team members.

• Team members work collectively on a single task in reciprocal interdependence.

• There is no dependency on other team members in reciprocal interdependence.

What does outcome interdependence focus on?

• The financial independence of the team

• The independence of team members
