Roles, HA, Why Groups, and Team Culture Flashcards
What is culture
Culture is a shared basic assumption that is learned by solving problems of external adaptation and internal integration that are valid and work well enough to be taught to new members of the group as the correct way to think, perceive, and act
3 Levels of Culture
Edgar Stein
1-artifacts
the tangible and visible norms and behaviours
2 -values
the shared principles and standards and goals that guide decision making
3- basic assumptions
the deeply held beliefs and ssumptions on how to think and react to certain situations and how to hold themselves in public
Culture must be
shared value by majority of the group
passed down through generations
shapes behaviour and perceptions
Why does culture matter/important? (SEGR)
- strongest asset or greatest liability
- effective control mechanism to direct player behaviour
- good culture can improve team performance
- rare culture can give a competitive advantage
3 Types of Culture
outcome-oriented - achievement, results and hitting goals culture
person-oriented - respectful, fair and supprotive culture
stable culture- predictable and rule-oriented
4 Benefits of Team Culture (GRMS)
- gives a sense of identity, which increases commitment to the team
-reinforces values - mechanism to shape behaviour
- sense-making device
4 functions of Culture
- manage change
- how players adapt to changing environments, letting them believe they can change their environment - achieve goals
- aligned goals facilitate achievement - coordinate teamwork
- long term survival depends on how efforts are coordinated and tied together (all in this together) - build strong culture (Stability)
- if culture is stong it will boost the stability (Captain)
Research on Team Culture
Found 3 core values
relationship values - trust through relationships
strategic values - stats to motivate players
behaviour values - hard work and discipline
how to change core values
recruit properly
reward and punishment
teach core values
(meainng model it, assign it, technology it)
A role definition
a role arises from a combined influence of the indivudals
position, status, and assigned or assumed responsiblities in a group
Roles are based on two
function and formality
role based on function
task role and social role
task - enforcer
social - comedian
role based on formaility
formal role and informal role
formal - captain
informal - unsung hero
role ambiguiity
the level of unclarity to which a person does not understand their role
Role Ambiguity Model
RA
Offence/Defense
Scope of Responsibilities: knowledge of the extent of responsibilities
Behaviours to Fulfill responsibilities: knowledge of behaviours required
Evaluation of Performance: knowledge of how performance is evaluated
Consequences with no fulfilling responsibilities: punishments and frustrations associated with poor role performance
Three interventions to decrease Role Ambiguity (INcrease ROle CLarity)
In order for TODD
- Coach and Athlete Interviews
- coahc lays ou twhats required of athlete athlete lays out what they believe is required of them and how they percieve the what the caoch is asking of them
- clarity given - Role clarity thorugh Teammates
- paper that says “ in order for team to succe x msu”
consultatn gets the papers back and tells the palyers the information that their teamates are saying about the,
- Establish Role aLArity throguh public statement
- players stanad innfront of the team discussing what they believe their role is and others roles
- disvussion to ensue , for clairty, ammending, or dispution
coach has final say
- need to t be mature and supportive
when RA was high
coach rated performance was low
and role acceptance low
when role clarity and acceptance was high
team cohesion was high
RA during season
high during the beginning of the season and low during the later stages of the season
