“…This loss of siruational control results in perceptions of crowding (Heller, Groff, & Solomon, 1977). Research supports the idea that behavioral interference is a critical factor in determining if the environment will be evaluated as crowded (e.g., Heller et al, 1977;Schopler & Stockdale, 1977;Sherrod, 1974;Sundstrom, 1975;Wicker, Kirmeyer, Hanson, & Alexander, 1976).…”

“…Other research supported the theory's predictions in churches of different sizes (Wicker, McGrath, & Armstrong, 1972) and in several laboratory-based experiments (Arnold & Greenberg, 1980;Perkins, 1982;Wicker, Kirmeyer, Hanson, & Alexander, 1976). Behavior setting theory thus offers a basis for specific quantitative predictions concerning direct environmental effects on behavior, although at this point the durability of these effects is not known since little or no longitudinal research has been done.…”

Although Barker's “behavior setting theory” (Barker, 1968; Price, 1976) is widely cited for its potential applications to community psychology, critical examination of this conception reveals significant limitations in its operational definition of “community” and in the extent to which predictions regarding direct influences on behavior have been validated in natural settings. From the perspective of community psychology there is also reason to question behavior setting theory's fundamental emphasis on the structural form of settings rather than on the functions they fulfill for their participants. Adopting new units of analysis and placing greater emphasis on the intended and unintended satisfactions that settings produce will make behavior setting theory more relevant to several problems in community psychology, including community assessment, person‐environment interaction, and community change.

“…Both smaller and larger teams often face issues that affect team success. Members of larger teams, for example, often report less satisfaction from participation, less opportunity to influence decisions, and complain of poor coordination of activities and assignments (Wicker, Kirmeyer, Hanson, and Alexander, 1976). And, as size increases, individual members also have less opportunity to participate or lead with fewer members initiating leadership acts (Stodgill, 1981).…”

After years of experience and research, one might conclude that organizations are confident in their ability to optimize the use of teams. In reality, we do not have to look far to find instances where team performance falls disappointingly short. This article examines the reasons for the success or failure of three organizational work teams. Using information gained from structured interviews involving team members, team leaders, and managers, a set of value-added findings are reached that explain why a particular team was or was not successful. This paper also presents original quantitative research that examined a variety of factors that affect work team success. It presents insights into a set of important factors that can affect team performance, particularly new findings regarding team size as well as the kind of organizational team model employed.The article concludes with a set of recommendations and policy implications derived from the research.This is an open access article under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License 4.0, which allows use, distribution and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited.
