The Relationship

The relationship between perceived leadership behaviors and team cohesion in high school and junior college baseball and softball teams was researched. Study participants, 307 athletes representing 23 teams, responded to the perceived version of the Leadership Scale for Sports (LSS) and the Group Environment Questionnaire (GEQ). Correlational and multivariate analyses indicated significant relationships between perceived leader behaviors and team cohesion. Specifically, coaches who were perceived as high in training and instruction, democratic behavior, social support, and positive feedback, and low in autocratic behavior, had teams that were more cohesive. A MANOVA indicated there were significant differences between genders and athletes at the two school levels in their perceptions of coaching behaviors and team cohesion, though these demographic variables did not significantly moderate the leadership-cohesion relationship.

Practical Implications

We examined the impact of knowledge-oriented leadership on project success via team cohesion and the moderating role of valuing people and project complexity on this relationship. We collected data from 121 project employees in Pakistan in a two-wave field survey at an interval of 15 days. The results showed a positive association between knowledge-oriented leadership and project success, and team cohesion partially mediated this relationship. Valuing people positively moderated the relationship between knowledge-oriented leadership and team cohesion. Project complexity had a negative but insignificant moderating effect on project success. The theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed.

Analyze Data

This research aims to determine the effect of team cohesion on work engagement with the mediating role of psychological empowerment. JD-R model is used to explain the phenomenon. We learn about how people who are engaged in ongoing working in team give an impact on people work engagement. Based on quantitative research from 557 participants from Indonesian military forces that were temporarily placed to carry out peace missions on conflict countries. By using Process to analyze data, we found that psychological empowerment partially mediate the relationship of team cohesion on work engagement (path a: Coeff = .29, SE = .04, p < .01, 95%CL .22 to .37; path b: Coeff = .23, SE = .03, p < .01, 95%CL .17 to .30; path c’, Coeff = .10, SE = .03, p < .01, 95%CL .04 to .17).

The Relationship

We investigated whether rival estimation leads to team cohesion in a competitive situation, and examined the mediating role of team cohesion in the relationship between rival estimation and escalation of commitment. We used a semiexperimental design with a sample of 336 university students and conducted structural equation modeling with partial least squares. Results showed that escalation of commitment increased as rival estimation increased, but this increase was much lower than enhancement through team cohesion. In addition, overestimation of rivals enhanced team cohesion and greatly increased escalation of commitment. Thus, we have introduced novel predictors for team cohesion and escalation of commitment in a competitive situation. Our results provide a tool for leaders responsible for team performance to make significant adjustments in cohesion and rival estimation. Leaders should also be aware of the negative effect of strong team cohesion on the tendency to think in a way that can lead to systematic deviation from good judgment/rationality.
