Cross-Level Effects of Team Task Interdependence on the Relationship Between Learning Goal Orientation and Feedback-Seeking Behaviors

Abstract

The primary goal of this study was to examine the cross-level impact of team task interdependence (TTI) on employees’ feedback-seeking behaviors. To achieve this goal, this study empirically tested the multilevel effect of TTI on an individual-level motivator—learning goal orientation (LGO)—of feedback-seeking behaviors. A set of multilevel data was analyzed through hierarchical linear modeling. Through the analysis, this study could prove the significant roles of LGO and TTI.
