team players
Cooperative group members
Team players are people who work well with others toward shared goals, prioritizing group success over individual recognition.
The term comes from sports but applies broadly to workplaces and collaborative settings: We need team players, not lone wolves.
Someone described as "not a team player" is seen as uncooperative or self-serving.
