| Abstract | This study examines the influence of two selected group structural characteristics on successful participation in system development. It draws upon work-group design research to develop and test nine hypotheses that link group heterogeneity and group-based rewards to participation and performance outcomes. Some interesting findings emerge from the study.The nature of the relationship between group heterogeneity and participation is not the same as that between group-based rewards and participation. Both heterogeneity and group-based rewards directly impact participation; and as participation positively impacts outcomes, both variables indirectly impact outcomes. In addition, group-based rewards have a direct effect on performance outcomes, while no direct effect is detected between heterogeneity and performance outcomes. Contrary to conventional wisdom, this study found the effect of group-based rewards on participation is not always positive. The study suggests that group-based rewards could suppress participation in heterogeneous system development groups. The study concludes with a discussion of the implications of these findings for managerial practice and future research. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
