Abstract
The hypothesized role of Least Preferred Coworker (LPC) as a moderator was tested in a laboratory study of 49 university students (24 low LPC and 25 high LPC). Each student was the leader of a three-person mixed-sex group. The number of cryptograms correctly solved by the group was the criterion of task performance. A posttask questionnaire provided five measures of satisfaction with the task and the task context. Both subgroup correlational analyses and moderated regression analyses supported the prediction that the relationship between task performance and satisfaction is stronger for low LPC (task-oriented) subjects than for high LPC (relationship-oriented) subjects.
