Abstract
This research explores the meaning and relationship of the constructs of effectiveness, performance,
and motivation among teams in a high performance manufacturing setting. Effectiveness
is defined as actual outcomes; performance is characterized as those types of behaviors required of
teams to achieve those outcomes. Motivation at the team level of analysis is conceived as collective
efficacy -- the members' confidence in their team's ability to perform. Two types of antecedents
to collective efficacy are explored -- prior success and compositional characteristics of the teams.
