Group Goals and Sources of Motivation: When Others Don’T Get the Job Done, I (Might) Pick Up the Slack
This research addresses what factors best motivate individuals to work toward group goals. We propose that individuals who are not highly identified with members of a group are most affected by information on other group members’ contribution to date, because this information suggests that a group's goal is valuable. In contrast, individuals who are already highly identified with members of a group are most affected by information on required contributions to complete the goal, because this information emphasizes the need to progress to complete the goal.
