FREE RIDING

OBNotes.HTM by WILF H. RATZBURG

Free-Riding: benefitting from the efforts of the other group members while contributing no effort in the performance of the group task. A team members' effort is dispensable if success can be achieved without any effort on that persons' part. Though similar, free-riding is different from social loafing. With social loafing, there is a reduction in effort because individual efforts cannot be identified. Whereas with free-riding, there is no effort applied by an individual because any effort would be dispensable.
