The primary aim of the current study was to examine factors that relate to individual
and relational self-concepts in a team context. Situational cues can prime identities
(Lord and Brown, 2004) or self-concepts, and these identities or self-concepts can have
different effects on team processes and outcomes. We expected and found evidence that
some outcomes are influenced primarily by individual self-concept, some outcomes
primarily by relational self-concept, and some outcomes by both. Results contributed to
our understanding of perceptions, attitudes, and motivation in teams by providing
evidence of the differential and joint effects of individual and relational self-concepts on
conceptually relevant outcomes in team contexts.
