Abstract
We argue that individuals who actively verify themselves within a team help other team members to recognize their expertise. We examine effects of self-verification-string on recognition of expertise among 325 individuals from 57 student project teams. Our two-wave results suggest that an individual's self-verification- striving positively predicts his/her level of expertise recognized by the peer team members. This positive relationship is more pronounced in teams with high levels of relationship conflict. Furthermore, self-verifiers who are perceived to have high levels of expertise are also prone to be viewed as more influential for team performance. The indirect effect of self-verification-striving on individual influence via expertise recognition is further moderated by team conflict such that it is significant when the team has low task conflict and high relationship conflict.
