Note: N (employees) = 459, N (teams) = 89; All coefficients are estimates of the fixed effect under robust standard error (γ). σ² is the residual of level-1, τ₀₀ is the intercept residual of level-2, τ₁₁ is the slope residual of level-2; *** p < 0.001, ** p < 0.01, * p < 0.05; IT = illegitimate tasks; PE = psychological entitlement; JB = job burnout; CC = collective climate.
