Abstract: We explore how differentially autonomous and autocratic teammates affect each other’s exposure to conflict and then satisfaction on prefounding entrepreneurship teams. Data from venture creation courses show that preferences for freedom (from rules) and discretion (over one’s job) each have their unique interactive effects, when assessing one’s own preferences in light of teammates’ preferences. High teamwide preference for independence was not linked to satisfaction, but one’s preference for independence interacts with actual interdependence to affect it. High teamwide preference to lead autocratically increases task conflict and diminishes satisfaction. Overall we find that conflict plays no role as a mediating variable.
