Abstract

The aim of the article is to describe the interaction of personal and team resources for sustainable workgroup activity. A theoretical analysis of the problem of sustainability and a description of the antecedents of group sustainability are presented.

The study involved employees of Russian organisations of various fields of activity in total number of 572 people, at the age from 18 to 73 (M = 34.98, SD = 11.2, Me = 33), 29% of respondents were men, 71% were women. From them the support staff amounted 19%, specialists amounted 62%, and leaders were 20%. Data collection was carried out through electronic Google Forms. The results discover the interrelations of conflict-resistance, proactive work settings, subscales of compatibility of mental models, subscales of shared leadership with the sustainability of workgroups.
