Organizational dimensions perceptions

The two team dimensions are affected by perceptions of more fundamental issues in the organization (the organizational dimensions discussed earlier). An organization that has fair procedures, good relations between treatment team members and superiors, trustworthy leaders, and concern for team members tends to have well-functioning teams. Not surprisingly, how team members are treated sets the stage for team effectiveness and cohesion.
