TLDR
Based on social interdependence theory and the ideas of Lewin's Center for the Study of Group Dynamics, Morton Deutsch proposed in 1949 that how group members believe their goals are related very much impacts their dynamics and success as mentioned in this paper.Abstract:
Based on social interdependence theorizing and the ideas of Lewin’s Center for the Study of Group Dynamics, Morton Deutsch proposed in 1949 that how group members believe their goals are related very much impacts their dynamics and success. Hundreds of studies summarized in meta-analyses document that cooperative goals promote communication and exchange and, more recently, the open-minded discussion of opposing views, dynamics in turn that result in group productivity, individual learning, psychological health, and relationships. Recent research has used the theory to understand such organizational issues as power and to test the theory’s universalistic aspirations. Validated procedures are being used around the world to promote educational goals. Leaders and members can use cooperation knowledge to make their increasingly diverse and dispersed teams work.read more

The Theory of Social and Economic Organization
TL;DR: The Theory of Social and Economic Organization as mentioned in this paper is based on Weber's philosophical inquiries into the nature of authority and how it is transmitted, and identifies three types of authority: the charismatic, based on the individual qualities of a leader and reverence for them among his or her followers; the traditional based on custom and usage; and the rational-legal, according to the rule of objective law.
