Strong interpersonal ties between team members are necessary for optimal Team Performance in an interdependent work environment with diverse employee demography and culture. In order to test the Analytical model based on two management theories Social Exchange Theory (SET) and Role Theory (RT), further investigate the determinant factors influencing Team Performance among 342 supervisors/ leaders in the textile industry in Lahore and Karachi region, Pakistan.

This research's main theoretical contribution is a better understanding of the significant roles of determinant factors (Passion for Help in Member-Member Exchange 1, Innovatively Making Jobs Easy in Member-Member Exchange 2, and Leader-Member Exchange) on Team performance. From a practical perspective, testing results may help managers to attain sustainability and foster supportive work environments that enhance positive relationships between Leaders, Team members, and the Organisation to promote Team effectiveness and Performance.
