business educators overseeing and guiding the efforts of those students. Due to the increased
usage of team assignments not only in the classroom environment but also in the business and
professional environment, there has been an increased number of problems occurring during the
completion of the team assignments (Hunsaker, Pavett, & Hunsaker, 2011, p. 127). The authors
have explored increasing the effectiveness of teams through the establishment of team charters
(Hunsaker et al., 2011, p. 127).
Content Summary
The purpose of the article is to promote the use of team charters (Hunsaker et al., 2011, p.
127). To demonstrate the effectiveness of team charters, a description of the basic elements of a
team charter are presented. Along with the description, guidelines are set forth to help instructors
and students in developing and incorporating the team charters within their respective teams.
Some of the key topics covered included an explanation of a team charter and why it is
important (Hunsaker et a., 2011, p. 128), the various elements of a team charter (pp. 129-131),
and the assignment instructions and procedures (pp. 132-135). Other important issues covered
included the concepts of free riders and social loafing (Daft, 2017, p. 603; Hunsaker et al., 2011,
p. 134). Finally, the concepts of Crunch and Pinch Points were discussed and options to
overcome each issue were presented (Hunsaker et al., 2011, pp. 133-134).
Article Credibility: Findings
Reliability.
According to Hunsaker et al. (2011), the team charter concept was implemented three
years ago from the date of this article. The authors presented findings based on “student
feedback, course evaluations, and a survey of the most recent classes” (Hunsaker et al., 2011, p.
135). The authors studied surveys sent to 93 students in three business management classes

Hunsaker et al., 2011, p. 135). Given the repeated application of the team charter, the findings
would most likely be similar when repeated.
Objectivity.
The findings can be objectively confirmed and verified due to three similar titles of
articles. For instance, in the reference list the article, “The Team Charter Assignment: Improving
the Effectiveness of Classroom Teams” (Cox & Bobrowski, 2004) was published in a highly
respected peer-reviewed journal, The Journal of Behavioral and Applied Management. Thus, an
outside highly respected source supported the findings within this study. Other similar titles
included, “The Team Role Test: Development and Validation of a Team Role Knowledge
Situational Judgment Test” (Mumford, Van Iddekinge, Morgeson, & Campion, 2008) and the
article by Edmonston, Roberto, and Watkins (2003), “A Dynamic Model of Top Management
Team Effectiveness: Managing Unstructured Task Teams” in Leadership Quarterly.
Validity.
In answering the validity of the findings, the question is whether the findings might apply
to other industries. The answer is absolutely yes and principally based on the proliferation of
virtual teams both in the academic context (environment) and in business (contexts)
environments worldwide! According to Hunsaker et al. (2011), several studies were completed
“to enhance team performance, evaluation, and leadership in the workplace” (p. 127). Further,
six studies were identified that related to psychological contracts and team charters throughout
the study and within the reference list.

Sources.
There are a variety of peer-reviewed article and book sources within the Reference List.
Many highly respected sources include the following names of academic journals, Journal of
Management Education, Journal of Applied Psychology, The Journal of Behavioral and Applied
Management, Journal of Organizational Behavior, and Administrative Science Quarterly. The
findings were related to and supported by several peer-reviewed journal articles and other similar
researched materials.
Application
This Professor is a Town Judge and a past Director for the New York State Magistrates
Association (NYSMA) with over 1,872 member Judges across the state of New York. There
were several statewide committees formed at the September 2017 Conference. Time is a major
constraint and with new members, there have been miscommunications at times concerning the
delegation of specific duties and responsibilities to be completed in the upcoming year.
According to Daft (2017), a free rider “is a person who benefits from team membership
but does not make a proportionate contribution to the team’s work” (p. 603). Although
infrequent, there are a very few Judges who are well intentioned but for whatever reason, they
are not able to complete their work during the year. However, they accept the accolades when the
team is recognized for their overall efforts.
The team charter might alleviate the free rider issue and spell out the specific duties and
consequences for not fulfilling those duties. Hunsaker et al. (2011) strongly suggest measuring
and rewarding individual contributions (p. 134). Further, the four steps outlined on pages 133
and 134 are ones that this Judge will be enacting in the next two weeks to ensure everyone is
aware of their responsibilities and that they understand the critical nature of communicating both

minor disruptions and unbearable disruptions in successfully completing team assignments
(Hunsaker et al., 2011, p. 133). By adhering to the highlighted elements of a team charter as
presented by Hunsaker et al. (2011), this Judge feels the NYSMA team assignments will be more
effective and completed in a timelier manner.
