The Dynamics of Interdependence in Organizations
Dean Tjosvold
Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, B.C. V5A 1S6.
A model is developed that stipulates that task, roles, and reward distribution of organizational structure, perceived goal interdependence, patterns of behavior, and corporate values and interpersonal attitudes form causal loops, and mutually reinforce and sustain each other. Positive and negative goal interdependencies and independence have been identified and result in much different dynamics and outcomes. Studies overall indicate that positive interdependence promotes coordination and productivity. Research is needed to determine generalizability of these findings and to identify the purposes and. situations when negative interdependence and independence are appropriate.
