When teamwork is good for employees — and when it isn’t
journal contribution
posted on 2023-06-09, 19:06 authored by Chidiebere OgbonnayaMost work today is done in teams. While teamwork can lead to innovative ideas and strong performance, it can also be stressful. Conflicts arise, people become too dependent on each other, some don’t get their fair share of credit – there are numerous coordination costs that come with making teams work well. From studying the effects of teamwork on employee wellbeing, I’ve found that a lot of this stress stems from the pressure that managers put on employees. While some pressure is necessary to get employees to perform at their best, pushing a team too hard can cause big problems for both employees and the organization.
