The impact of status hierarchy on individual behavior and team processes
A vital feature in human social groups is status hierarchy – that is, vertical differences between team members in the esteem, prestige, and respect that these receive. This dissertation examines the impact of status hierarchy on individual behavior and team processes. Across six chapters, this dissertation demonstrates the consequences of the choice of the conceptualization and measurement of hierarchy, shows how the influence of status hierarchy varies across functional group processes, and explains when upward status-based deference occurs.About the author
