Answer to Question 1

A free rider is an individual who finds it rational to withhold effort and provide minimum input to the team in exchange for a full share of the rewards. This is also called social loafing or shirking. When free riders are tolerated, other members may reduce their efforts and team productivity suffers as a result.

Answer to Question 2

Trust can be created by communicating openly, sharing credit with others, reciprocating help from teammates, and avoiding acting purely out of self-interest.
