Abstract Based on Attachment and Sensemaking Theory, and addressing the contradictions between employees’ need for team belonging and “dehumanization”, as well as the game between information needs and “algorithmic black box”, this study examines the impact of algorithmic management on employees’ team cooperation behaviors. By analyzing 473 matched questionnaire responses from 37 teams operating in intelligent workshops, we found that algorithmic management-related phenomena, such as digital alienation and information opacity, stimulate employees’ social and cognitive motivations. Consequently, these motivations heighten employees’ need for belonging and information. To fulfill these needs, employees engage in more team cooperation behaviors. In other words, employees’ belonging needs and information needs mediate the influence of algorithmic management on their cooperation behaviors. Furthermore, team reflexivity positively moderates this relationship, amplifying the stimulatory effect of algorithmic management on employees’ needs and cooperation behaviors.
