The importance of cross-level analysis and contextual contingencies when granting autonomy to groups and individuals in organizations.
Langfred, Claus Willem.

The importance of cross-level analysis and contextual contingencies when granting autonomy to groups and individuals in organizations. - 111 p.

Adviser: Paul Hirsch.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--Northwestern University, 1998.

This study explores the granting of autonomy in organizational work groups, and develops a theoretical framework for conceptualizing different types of work groups based on the combination of individual and group-level autonomy. This framework also considers the influence of specific contextual contingencies on the implementation and success of self-management interventions. It is hypothesized that high individual and high group autonomy can have countervailing effects, and that group cohesiveness is one mechanism by which such effects might be mediated. It is also hypothesized that task interdependence, a contextual characteristic, moderates the effects of individual and group autonomy on group effectiveness, and that again, the combination of individual and group autonomy may have unintended, and possibly destructive, effects. Data from three different settings are used: a government social service agency, a large military unit, and a private-sector high technology firm. Hierarchical multiple regression is used to test hypotheses, and the results indicate that individual and group autonomy can have opposite effects on group effectiveness, partially mediated through group cohesiveness. Both within- and between-organization analyses also suggest a moderating effect of task interdependence on the relationship between individual-level and group-level autonomy and work group effectiveness.
