Autocratic leadership
This theory proposes that people are motivated by three core needs: autonomy, competence, and relatedness.
Self-Determination Theory
This term refers to a phenomenon where group members prioritize consensus and harmony over critical evaluation of ideas, potentially leading to poor decision-making.
Groupthink
This conflict resolution strategy involves one party winning at the expense of the other, often through power or influence.
Competing
This model of decision-making involves seeking a satisfactory solution rather than an optimal one, often due to limited information and time.
Bounded Rationality
This leadership style involves leaders who encourage group participation, collaboration, and empowerment in decision-making.
Democratic leadership
According to this theory, an individual's motivation is influenced by intrinsic and extrinsic rewards, and they make decisions based on which reward they expect to gain.
Motivation-Hygiene Theory
AKA Two Factor Theory
In this stage of group development, team members begin to understand each other's roles, and conflicts are addressed.
Storming
This approach to conflict resolution involves finding a middle ground where both parties give up something to reach a resolution.
Compromising
This decision-making bias involves relying too heavily on the first piece of information encountered (the "anchor") when making judgments.
Anchoring Bias
This leadership style focuses on creating a vision for the future and motivating employees to achieve long-term goals.
Transformational leadership
According to this theory, people are motivated by a hierarchy of needs, beginning with physiological needs and culminating in self-actualization.
Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs
This type of team has members who are located in different geographical areas and communicate primarily through technology.
Virtual Team
This conflict resolution style emphasizes collaboration and problem-solving to find a solution that satisfies both parties.
Collaborating
In decision-making, this term refers to a systematic error that occurs when people focus on a single aspect of a problem and ignore other relevant factors.
Framing Effect
This leadership style relies on rewards and punishments to motivate employees, often with a focus on short-term tasks and compliance
Transactional leadership
This theory suggests that motivation is influenced by the perceived fairness of the rewards and resources provided by an organization.
Equity Theory
This term refers to the stage in group development when group members start to work together cohesively toward a common goal, after the conflicts from the storming phase have been resolved.
Norming
This conflict resolution style involves avoiding conflict altogether, either by withdrawing or sidestepping the issue.
Avoiding
This model of decision-making involves gathering all possible data and considering every alternative before making a decision, often used by rational decision-makers.
The Rational Model
This leadership style is best described as one where leaders act as role models and focus on the moral and ethical development of their followers.
Servant leadership
This theory emphasizes that motivation is determined by the belief that effort will lead to performance and that performance will lead to desired outcomes.
Expectancy Theory
This type of team has members with diverse skills and expertise working together on a specific, often complex, task or project.
Cross-functional Team
This strategy aims to maintain relationships and smooth over conflict without directly addressing the underlying issue, often involving compromise or yielding.
Accommodating

Conformation Bias
