Available online 20 January 2012 Although the differential treatment of team members by their leader is at the heart of Leader– Member Exchange (LMX) theory, empirical studies exploring the role of within-team LMX differentiation in relation to team outcomes are still relatively scarce. This study among 269 Dutch secondary school teachers from 33 different teams tested the hypotheses that the r...

Leader-Member Exchange (LMX) theory and Team-Member Exchange (TMX) theory provide the foundation for development of a model of the interpersonal relationships among work groups. The model extends the findings of a quarter-century of LMX research to all dyadic relationships within a work group. This cluster of dyadic member-member relationships (MxiMyjX), as well as the Leader-Member relationshi...

Drawing upon charismatic leadership and intrinsic motivation theory, we developed a theoretical model to examine the impact mechanism of charismatic leadership on employees’ tacit knowledge sharing intention in a temporary Enterprise Systems learning team. We conducted a survey-based field study to examine the theoretical model and hypotheses. A total of 153 questionnaires were distributed to E...

The multiply injured patient has by definition multiple problems, and ,,,i2 w adequate treatment necessitates a team approach. The team must be organised appropriately and work in a well equipped resuscitation room. The overall management of the patient is the responsibility of the team leader, who should, ideally, not participate in practical procedures but should: (1) Organise the team (2) As...

The paper studies the formation merging problem for a leader-follower network. That is, how to control a team of agents called followers so that they are merged with a team of agents called leaders to form a larger globally rigid formation. Under the premise that a group of leaders move in a globally rigid formation with their synchronized velocity known to the followers, we show that the follo...

Several finance and economics problems involve a team of agents in which the marginal productivity of any one agent increases with the effort of others on the team. Because the effort of each agent is not observable to any other agent, the performance of the team is negatively affected by a free-rider problem and by a lack of effort coordination across agents. In this context, we show that an a...
