Work-Group Design and Autonomy

A Field Study of the Interaction Between Task Interdependence and Group Autonomy

Claus W. Langfred

Washington University in St. Louis

Survey results of employees and managers from 25 work groups in a large technology firm demonstrate the moderating effect of within-group task interdependence on the relationship between group autonomy and effectiveness. As hypothesized, autonomy has a positive influence on work group effectiveness when task interdependence is high and a negative effect when task interdependence is low.
