Evaluating Individual Group Member Satisfaction as a Situational Variable

Abstract

Group member satisfaction has a long history in the study of group process. Conceptual and methodological problems have hampered the continued development of this construct. This article examines satisfaction of individual members in task groups and provides an alternative conceptualization and methodology for the construct. Grounded data illustrate the need to conceptualize satisfaction and dissatisfaction as separate constructs, not just polar opposites. Both of these then need to be examined as to their universal and situational impact on group process.
