Results of an exploratory study of relationships between work-group characteristics and the social and task cohesion of 18 business students engaged in team class projects. Regression analysis of scores on workload sharing, team spirit, task flexibility, and team cohesiveness for scales of the Work Group Characteristics Inventory indicated sharing of the workload was significantly associated with both task and social cohesion; team spirit with task cohesion but not social cohesion; and task flexibility with social cohesion but not task cohesion.

To study the relationship between personality characteristics of work-group managers and aspects of the work-group including task, contextual and structural dimensions, work groups from three organizations were investigated. Results indicate that personality characteristics of the managers were most strongly related to those work-group characteristics assessing work responsibilities. Implications for further research in leadership are discussed.
