After reading this source, the conclusive results indicate that, “One of the greatest challenges for undergraduate teams seems to be establishing and implementing an equitable division of the workload; MBA teams still struggle with this issue, but often to a lesser extent. Equality may predict performance for undergraduate teams because equality concerns are their greatest impediment to performance, and once resolved, allow the team to move forward and complete its work.” I think this connection is very relevant and important to recognize because a lot of the time work is divided based on reliability and what people say they are willing to do. 

I will make a text-to-self connection here. Undergrad classes involve a lot of collaboration and group work. A good example of this is this class. We are expected to responsibly approach group work by communicating with each other and holding each other accountable without really knowing anything about each other personally or professionally. We don’t know what everyone’s work ethic, accountability, motivation, time management, etc is like and we have to put our grade on the line in hopes the team can successfully divide and complete work successfully. I can agree with the conclusion that this source provided because it shows that if work is divided unevenly then it can affect the quality of work done. I feel like times when I have felt I got handed more work or the “bigger parts” or even “more difficult sections” I was frustrated because my group members got off the hook.
