With the rapidly increasing competitiveness in the global setting, enterprises face more and more challenges. In order to response the complex and dynamic environment, team-based design has been adopted widely in organizationas. Moreover, recent global economic recession has forced many organizations to lay-off employees. The lay-off resulted in increasing survival employees’ workload. Thus, the management has realized the importance of employees’ initiative and employee’s perceived personal impact in organizational environment. In addition, for organizations focusing on marketing and R&D activities, team-based job design has been adipted to perform projects. The rise of the use of team in organizations means that facilitating the support and cooperation within team members could inspire higher altruism and synergy which would lead to co-creative innovations.
