Transactive Goal Dynamics (TGD) Theory is a multi-level, relational theory of goal pursuit that can be used to understand behavior within organizational teams. The theory describes the nature of goal-related interdependence (called transactive density) within dyads and groups, and predicts when transactive density will have positive versus negative consequences for goal-related outcomes. TGD Theory states that within many close dyads and teams, individuals’ goals, pursuits, and outcomes come to affect each other in a dense network of goal-related interdependence, with the individuals possessing and pursuing goals oriented toward themselves, other members of the system, and the system as a whole. This article discusses novel implications of the theory for the understanding of organizational teams and team leadership, and constraints on relational dynamics within organizational contexts.

主动目标动力学（TGD）理论是一种多层次的目标追求关系理论，可用于理解组织团队中的行为。该理论描述了与目标相关的相互依存的本质（称为交易密度））在二元组和组中，并预测何时交易密度会对与目标相关的结果带来正面还是负面的影响。TGD理论指出，在许多紧密的团队中，个人的目标，追求和结果在与目标相关的相互依赖的密集网络中相互影响，个人拥有并追求面向自己的目标，即系统的其他成员，以及整个系统。本文讨论了该理论对组织团队和团队领导力的理解的新含义，以及在组织环境中对关系动态的约束。
