Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Outcome interdependence refers to a situation where individuals or groups are dependent on each other's performance and success, regardless of the specific tasks they are assigned. This type of interdependence is based on the overall outcomes of the work being done, rather than the individual tasks involved. Examples of outcome interdependence include employees in a company working towards the same goal of increasing profits, or members of a sports team playing to win a game together. Pooled interdependence involves each person having independent and separate tasks, but working towards a common goal. Sequential interdependence involves a specific sequence of tasks that must be completed in order for the larger goal to be accomplished. Reciprocal interdependence involves individuals or groups depending on each other's specific tasks in order to perform their own task successfully.
