Job Characteristics and Outcomes Within a Team-Based Environment. The Journal of Social Psychology,
146(4), 485-507. doi:10.3200/SOCP.146.4.485-507. Based on the information available in literature review, this article sets
out to prove that members of substantive teams will be more satisfiedwith their jobs and the team process, as well as more committed thanemployees on consultative team. Further, they analyzed how the
changed perception of job tasks of substantive team members affectsthe outcomes. However, the authors found that consultative teammembers were in fact more satisfied than their counterparts. They alsoconfirmed that there was little relationship between team type andoutcome measures, but were surprised to find that the members of
consultative teams actually perceived their jobs to be more enriched. 13

integration while the second represents internal differentiation (Beck,2002 p. 311). The author goes on to analyze the groups based on theirteam effectiveness, group efficacy, and the role of an informal leader. Itwas determined teams in external integration; decreased interpersonalunderstanding, increased team self evaluation and that organizationalinfluence motivated team self-evaluation. Whereas, the internaldifferentiation teams; increased team self-evaluation, increased
interpersonal understanding and decreased cross-boundary actions(Beck, 2002 p. 313). Overall, both teams showed that the informalleader in a group plays a significant role (Beck, 2002 p. 313).

The author discusses the importance of preparing and planning for acrisis by forming a crisis management team to develop a crisis
management plan. Responding quickly and confidently to a crisis iscritical, and testing the plan via a mock crisis scenario helps todetermine the solidity of a plan. The author determines that varyingbackgrounds allow team members to feel more comfortable questioningone anothers ideas, a charismatic leader will guide the team moreeffectively, people who have a history working with one another willperform more effectively together, and the team will be more successful
if the companys culture is in alignment with the crisis management plan.An effective crisis management plan is a key component in addressing acrisis, and if used properly it will minimize the potential damage to acompanys reputation.
