Abstract

Organizations oen use teams as their basic approach to modern workplace challenges (Rousseau, Aubé, & Savoie, 2006). eir success hinges on the ability of team members to collaborate eciently to solve complex problems (DeChurch & Mesmer-Magnus, 2010). Although teams are designed to meet important goals for both companies and their employees, not all team members work together well. Teams are frequently “cruel to their members” (Hogg, Fielding, & Darley, 2005) through a variety of negative team member exchanges (NTMEs) including mobbing, bullying, incivility, social undermining, and sexual harassment. In fact, teams are oen crueler to their inner circle than to members from out-groups.
