Understanding the experiences of volunteers in amateur sport organizations is critical to their effective management of these nonprofit organizations. The purpose of this study was to explore cohesion in volunteer sport executive committees. Members (n = 117) of sport executive committees or boards completed a questionnaire that assessed perceptions of cohesion, individual satisfaction, effort, intent to quit, committee effectiveness, and a variety of individual (gender, committee, role, tenure) and organizational (committee, size, gender composition, frequency and length of meetings) variables. Task cohesion was found to be stronger than social cohesion. Only committee size was found to be associated with perceptions of cohesiveness; members of smaller committees perceived less social cohesion than members of medium and larger committees. Task and social cohesion predicted volunteer satisfaction and perceived committee effectiveness, while volunteer effort and intent to remain with the committee were predicted by task cohesion. The results are discussed in terms of their implication for theory and practice.

AbstractThe historical development of astronomy in the Caribbean is reviewed within its cultural and environmental framework. The present status of astronomy in education, research and at the popular level is presented also with the focus being on its development in the island of Trinidad and Tobago in particular. We review what works in small developing islands versus larger developed or developing countries and the peculiar trials and tribulations of our circumstances as well as the rewards of such efforts. The critical role of students and volunteer effort will be highlighted. The psychological and cultural aspect and its role in the development of astronomy in the Caribbean is also explored. The outlook for the next decade will be highlighted with a brief proposal of having a node for TWAN (Third World Astronomy Network) in Trinidad in the Caribbean.
