Abstract

By 1938 effective organisations were characterized as systems in which individuals cooperated with each other to reach organizational ends (Barnard, 1938). In those days cooperative behaviours were studied under the heading of solidarity within organizations, and were focused on solidarity between employees in conflict with management or in the enforcement of workgroup norms (Roethlisberger & Dickson, 1939; Seashore, 1954; Blau, 1955, 1964; Homans, 1961). Cooperative behaviours became a focus of research when organizations started to structure employees into teams or groups, such as management teams, project groups or selfmanaged teams (Cohen & Bailey, 1997; Goodman, 1986).
