The influence of defensive impression management and perceived loafing on group effectiveness was investigatedfor 49 groups of 204 undergraduate business students working for 3 months on a team interdependent task The interaction between perceived loafing and defensive impression management was also tested. Results demonstrated that both independent variables were negatively correlated with satisfaction with group members and group performance. In addition, the perceived loafing by defensive impression management interaction explained significant incremental variance in satisfaction with group members and group performance as predicted. Groups with high levels of perceived loafing had a negative relationship between defensive impression management and group effectiveness, whereas groups with low levels ofperceived loafing had a positive relationship. Implications for managers andfuture research issues are discussed.
