Neill, Hayward, and Peterson (2007) investigated the perceptions students have concerning interprofessional teams in practice using the principles of servant leadership. The sample that was studied was students from different professions within the health sector, subjected to a similar framework. The students provided care using mobile wellness services. These teams had a central source of communication coordinated by a faculty member of the health profession. An Interdisciplinary Education Perception Scale was used to measure the perceptions of interdisciplinary practice. Further, a pretest-posttest research design was employed in checking whether the desired outcomes were achieved. After a multivariate analysis was performed, a significant variation was observed between the pretest and post-test results. Through the student’s score on the interdisciplinary education perception scale, it was established that teamwork in practice highly changed their perceptions compared to the perceptions they had before the test.
However, when a univariate analysis was conducted, the students indicated notable changes in his or her perceptions of professional autonomy, practice, resource sharing,...
From pretest to post-test, the students depicted a high embracement of teamwork and valuing of other people’s contributions. Therefore, it was imperative to shift the professionals from the formal organization’s work framework and place them into a community-based interprofessional care to achieve the team goals. When interprofessional sharing of ideas and other resources is achieved, care delivery will be achieved holistically. Since members of the teams have different levels of expertise in offering care, when these skills are employed together, a client-centered care is achieved. Eventually, Neill, Hayward, and Peterson (2007) established that when professionals from multiple departments or disciplines integrate their knowledge through teamwork, the desired communal and societal needs are met.

(2010). Transactional leaders use the extrinsic motivators, to get goals met within an organization, as stated by Suliman (2009).
