“…The reason is that collaboration plays a prominent role in determining a group's creativity (Gilson and Shalley 2004, Leenders et al 2003, Li et al 2007, Sawyer 2007, particularly when the creative task requires interpersonal interaction and the integration of different idea components (Leenders et al 2007, Wood 1987. We define collaboration as the extent to which members of the group share their thoughts, consider each other's ideas and suggestions as valuable inputs into their own generative processes, and give meaning to each other's contributions (Baer et al 2010, Van Knippenberg et al 2004.…”

Building on social role theory, we extend a contingency perspective on intergroup competition proposing that having groups compete against one another is stimulating to the creativity of groups composed largely or exclusively of men but detrimental to the creativity of groups composed largely or exclusively of women. We tested this idea in two separate studies: a laboratory experiment (Study 1) and a field study (Study 2). Study 1 showed that competition had the expected positive effects on the creativity of groups composed mostly or exclusively of men and produced the predicted negative effects on the creativity of groups composed of women, even though the latter effects emerged at the high end of the competition spectrum and for sex-homogeneous groups only. Results of Study 1 also revealed that within-group collaboration mediated the joint effects of competition and sex composition on group creativity. Study 2 replicated the results of Study 1 in a field setting involving research and development teams. We discuss the implications of these findings for theory and practice.

“…Tepper, Lockhart, and Hoobler (2001), found that procedural justice was positively related to organizational citizenship behavior (going above and beyond to help coworkers or the organization). Further, Li, Bingham, & Umphress (2007) found that procedural justice for top management decisions was positively related to collaborative problem solving for new product development. They found that when workers believed that the top management was likely to fairly make decisions, the workers were more likely to collaborate on new product development, which in turn increased new product performance.…”

The current study advances an organizational justice theory to the concept of workplace nepotism. I examined if an individual's perception of nepotism can be influenced by their cultural self-construal and how the different components of organizational justice (distributive, procedural, interactional and informational) provide the psychological mechanism through which they base their judgments of fairness. A 2 (organizational selection: merit, nepotism) X 2 (competence: high, low), X 2 (in-group, out-group) experimental design was be utilized to test this theory.Participants read a randomized vignette, which varied the level of the six important factors. They then completed dependent variables (fairness evaluations and organizational reactions) about each scenario. This study represents the first empirical investigation of nepotism through the lens of individual's cultural self-construal and organizational justice.

The design process often requires work by teams, rather than individuals. During teambased design it is likely that situations will arise in which individual members of the team have different opinions, yet a group decision must still be made. Unfortunately, Arrow's Impossibility Theorem indicates that there is no method for aggregating group preferences that will always satisfy a small number of "fair" conditions. This work seeks to identify methods of combining individual preferences that can come close to satisfying Arrow's conditions, enabling decisions that are fairer in practice. First, experiential conjoint analysis was used to obtain individual empirical utility functions for drinking mug designs. Each empirical utility function represented individual members who were part of a design team. Then, a number of functions for constructing group preference were analysed using both randomly generated preferences and empirical preferences derived from the experiential conjoint survey. The analysis involved checking each of Arrow's conditions, as well as assessing the potential impact of strategic voting.Based on the results, methods that should be used to aggregate group preference within a design team in practice were identified and recommended.2
