Scott (1967)noted that differences in status can motivate people and provide them with a sense of identification within a group.High status team members tend to initiate communication more often,have more influence over decisions the team makes,and are provided with more opportunities to participate (Owens,Mannic,& Neale,1998).Low status members may feel intimidated or even ignored by higher status team members,hence may not benefit as fully from the high status individual's expertise (Topping,Norton,& Scafidi,2003).
