ABSTRACT
As defined in Chapter 1 of this volume, “An MTS constitutes subsets of component teams acting interdependently to accomplish at least one proximal goal, with all acting in concert toward a superordinate distal goal.” Interdependence in MTSs can be in terms of inputs, processes, and outputs. The inputs may include human, informational, technological, material, and financial resources. Other chapters in this book address the informational, technological, material, and financial interdependence. In this chapter, we address the critical issue of human resource (or membership) interdependence. Such interdependence exists when people are concurrently members of multiple teams. Multiple team membership (MTM) can exist with or without the presence of MTSs. Figure 6.1 summarizes the contexts in which MTM and MTSs do and do not coexist. Relationship between an MTS and MTM. https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9780203814772/a9e3bf12-2e61-4b7b-8735-8af091b98886/content/fig6_1_B.tif" xmlns:xlink="https://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"/>
