This research project builds on the observation that the research streams on effort losses and effort gains in teams tend to currently exist largely isolated from each other. Therefore, a theoretical and empirical integration of these two research streams is pursued in this project. As the project's overarching hypothesis it is assumed on the one hand, that the boundary conditions are conceptually closely related under which effort losses and effort gains in teams emerge (e.g, social indispensability and social dispensability of the own contribution to the team's performance). On the other hand, the project is aimed at testing the hypothesis that members expend their efforts during teamwork in different modes: Effort losses in teams rely on automatic processes, whereas effort gains rely on controlled processes ("different processes hypothesis"). The simultaneous investigation of effort losses and effort gains in teams within this research project is theoretically meaningful because it can contribute to the theoretical integration of the two research streams and because it also fathoms the limits of this integation. The integration is also meaningful from an applied perspective: Reliable recommendations on the motivating design of teamwork can only be given if the specific boundary conditions and processes are clearly understood, which are responsible for the emergence of effort losses and effort gains in teams. The aspired goals of this research project are pursued by means of a meta-analysis and four empirical primary studies. In these primary studies, different, but complementary methods will be used to test the different processes hypothesis. Together, these studies allow for a reliable assessment of the validity of this project's hypotheses.

这个研究项目建立在这样的观察之上，即关于团队中的努力损失和努力收获的研究流目前往往相互孤立地存在。因此，本研究试图将这两个研究流派进行理论和实证的整合。作为项目的总体假设，一方面，假设边界条件在概念上是紧密相关的，在这些边界条件下，团队中的努力损失和努力收获出现(例如，自身对团队绩效的贡献的社会不可缺少和社会可有可无)。另一方面，该项目的目的是检验这样一种假设，即成员在团队工作中以不同的方式花费他们的努力：团队中的努力损失依赖于自动过程，而努力收益依赖于受控的过程(“不同过程假设”)。在这个研究项目中同时调查团队中的努力损失和努力获得在理论上是有意义的，因为它有助于两个研究流的理论整合，也因为它也深入了解了这种整合的限度。从应用的角度来看，整合也是有意义的：只有清楚地理解具体的边界条件和过程，才能给出关于团队工作激励设计的可靠建议，这些条件和过程是团队中出现努力损失和努力获得的原因。本研究的目标是通过元分析和四项初步实证研究来实现的。在这些初步研究中，将使用不同但互补的方法来检验不同过程假说。总而言之，这些研究允许对该项目假设的有效性进行可靠的评估。
