Abstract:

Concurrent engineering technique offers competitive advantage to organizations. The literature suggests

that concurrent engineering practices are influenced by human and technical factors, which are present

within a firm. Despite the importance of human factors, researchers typically have focused on

operational and technical issues of implementation of concurrent engineering practices. More

specifically, the role of human factors such as leadership, perceived equity and envy has not been

explored in concurrent engineering context. Furthermore, the influence of envy on cross-functional team

performance and product development cycle time has not been examined. To this end, the current study

investigates the impact of leader member exchange on envy, and the outcomes of envy in terms of cross-

functional team performance and product development cycle time. An integrated framework which would

be beneficial to managers and practitioners is presented. Finally, we draw conclusions and present some

avenues for future research.
