Description
Summary:	Although the team goal orientation literature has recognized the usefulness of team goal orientation in predicting team-level outcomes such as team performance and satisfaction, no study has investigated the emergence process of team goal orientation and its impact on team-level outcomes. This study posited that team goal orientation emerges through interactions among team members, in which members influence each other's goal orientation. Undergraduate students participated in a simulated airport security screening task as members of a three-person team where teams needed to identify potential weapons. This study had high versus low role discrepancy conditions. In the high role discrepancy condition, a team consisted of one leader and two informers, and only the leader was able to make final decisions; whereas, in the low role discrepancy condition, a team had no assigned leader. The results generally supported the hypotheses such that team goal orientation emerged based on the leaders' goal orientation.
