"This dissertation investigates the impact of team density and team standards on newcomer performance. Data were collected from 204 newcomers, with results indicating that the team density had a substantial negative effect on newcomer performance. Moreover, although a positive effect was predicted, analyses indicated that the team standards had a trivial impact on newcomer performance. An interaction effect between team density and team standards was also predicted, but the hypothesis failed to receive any statistical support. This dissertation ends with a detailed discussion in which the contribution and implacations of this research are addressed, and directions for future research are offered."--Abstract.
