2.1.2 Employees’ Attitudes towards Teamwork
Employee resistance to teams is recognized as a key constraint on the success of an organisation and will
diminish team effectiveness. Trust in both co-workers and management is considered as predictors of employee’s
preference for teamwork. It suggests trust in co-workers and management is positively associated with
organisational outcomes (Kiffin-Petersen and Cordery, 2003).
Secondly, individual team members who are provided with opportunities to learn and utilize new skills will have
more favorable attitudes towards teamwork (Kiffin-Petersen and Cordery, 2003).
