Functional interdependence and effectiveness Sample Clauses

Functional interdependence and effectiveness. Functional interdependence enhances group performance for several reasons. First, as people become more and more functionally dependent upon one another, they need to cooperate more and need to coordinate their actions in order to reach an effective level of performance. Previous research demonstrated that more functional interdependence is accompanied with more cooperation (Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxxxx, 1972; Xxxxxxx, 1973; Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxx, 1989; Xxxxxxx, 1995). This reasoning is also apparent in the early studies of the coordination-performance relationship (e.g., Xxxxx, 1983), in which Xxxxx hypothesized and found a positive relationship between the coordination of task interdependencies and performance. Moreover, high functional interdependency within a group also decreases individual autonomy because each group member is dependent upon others to perform well (e.g., Xxxxxxxx, 1983; Xxx xxx Xxxx et al., 1998; Xxxxxx, 1999). In addition, individual contributions become more visible to all group members in highly functional interdependence situations. As a consequence, group members are likely to feel more responsible for the groups’ task (Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxxxx, 1991; Xxx xxx Xxxx et al., 1998) and are more likely to see the work as challenging (cf. Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx, 1996) which we expect to result in more individual efforts enhancing performance. Based on this previous research and theorizing on how functional interdependence influences both individual and group performance, we formulated the following two hypotheses: Hypothesis 1: Functional interdependence is positively associated with individual performance. Hypothesis 2: Functional interdependence in a group is positively associated with group performance. A high level of functional interdependence among group members is also expected to increase learning of the group members. Learning is a process (Xxxxxxx & Xxxxx, 1978; Xxxxxxxxx, 1999) and

  • Proposed Policies and Procedures Regarding New Online Content and Functionality By October 31, 2017, the School will submit to OCR for its review and approval proposed policies and procedures (“the Plan for New Content”) to ensure that all new, newly-added, or modified online content and functionality will be accessible to people with disabilities as measured by conformance to the Benchmarks for Measuring Accessibility set forth above, except where doing so would impose a fundamental alteration or undue burden. a) When fundamental alteration or undue burden defenses apply, the Plan for New Content will require the School to provide equally effective alternative access. The Plan for New Content will require the School, in providing equally effective alternate access, to take any actions that do not result in a fundamental alteration or undue financial and administrative burdens, but nevertheless ensure that, to the maximum extent possible, individuals with disabilities receive the same benefits or services as their nondisabled peers. To provide equally effective alternate access, alternates are not required to produce the identical result or level of achievement for persons with and without disabilities, but must afford persons with disabilities equal opportunity to obtain the same result, to gain the same benefit, or to reach the same level of achievement, in the most integrated setting appropriate to the person’s needs. b) The Plan for New Content must include sufficient quality assurance procedures, backed by adequate personnel and financial resources, for full implementation. This provision also applies to the School’s online content and functionality developed by, maintained by, or offered through a third-party vendor or by using open sources. c) Within thirty (30) days of receiving OCR’s approval of the Plan for New Content, the School will officially adopt, and fully implement the amended policies and procedures.
