Employees experience job stress, health problems, and reduced job performance. Studies show that teamwork provides job stress coping benefits. Taxi drivers suffer effects of job stress, yet extant literature provides minimal application of the team theory. Research provides the opportunity to answer questions pertaining to causes of taxi driver job stress, taxi driver job stress remedy, and effectiveness of taxi-driver teamwork. In the backdrop of person-environment fit theory, this qualitative study facilitated the inductive interpretation of self-employed taxi drivers' experience of teamwork for mitigating the effects of job stress. The sample of 9 taxi drivers was drawn from a pool of 100,000 New York City taxi drivers. Participants provided answers and elaborated on their job stress experiences during open-ended questioning. Data analysis involved the implementation of NVivo technology. The outcome of this exercise included widespread taxi driver job stress that affected their health and productivity. On the central tenet of the research (teamwork effectiveness), the result was inconclusive. Inconclusive as the results might be, one team (in one research endeavor) did not sufficiently generate generalizable outcomes. As such, future studies should involve larger samples, more cities, and team members from outside the taxi industry, preferably healthcare workers, human resource workers, and federal, state, and local actors. The goal should be to strengthen the argument, considering that effective teams were made up of people with diverse knowledge, skills, abilities and others. Ultimately, the findings in this research should inform stakeholders (taxi drivers, policy makers, regulators, insurers, and the riding public) about the need for greater involvement, and search for alternative or permanent work for sick and recuperating taxi drivers.
