Cohesion and performance relationships in intercollegiate coacting teams
Abstract: The relationship between team cohesion and performance outcome, and performance outcome and subsequent perceived cohesion levels, was analyzed among intercollegiate, men's, gymnastics teams. The intent of the researcher was to study the cohesion-performance relationship in coacting teams. The teams (N = 5) completed the Group Environment Questionnaire (GEQ; Widmeyer, Brawley, and Carron, 1985) before and after a major, sectional championship. The teams were then ranked for each of the four subscales of the GEQ (Widmeyer et al., 1985) before and after the championship. These ranking were compared to the final rankings of the teams in the championship. Eight Spearman Rank Order correlation coefficients were calculated and no significant relationship was found. Implications for future research include the degree of task type, from coacting to interacting. There are teams that fall inside the spectrum (baseball, softball) that exhibit coacting and interacting tendencies. Gender differences warrant further investigation (Matheson, Mathes, and Murray, 1997).
