Relate specifically to how the leadership style affects cohesion. Good leadership is a key factor in developing a cohesive team. The most appropriate style of leadership is used (autocratic, democratic, laissez faire). Leaders must be consistent with their players and have clear communication. Compatibility between the players and the leaders is essential in developing team cohesion.

  • Team stability
  • The length of time the team has been together
  • Prior successes and failures
  • Team goals
  • The type of sport being played - team/individual
  • Team norms for productivity
18
Q

A
  • Communicating clearly and regularly so all members understand their roles and responsibilities
  • Having clear and understood expectations/norms
  • Making clear what individuals must do in order for the team to achieve its goals
  • Developing pride within subunits - defence, midfield, attack
  • Set challenging but realistic goals for the team as a whole and for individual players - players are involved in this process
  • Being fair and consistent in dealing with the player group
  • Prioritise team goals over individual goals
  • Promote high levels of motivation
  • Have regular team meetings - provides an opportunity for players to voice their own opinion
19
Q

A
  • Encouraging social interaction away from the sport, eg. BBQ’s, paint balling
  • Maintain open and honest communication
  • Resolve conflicts quickly
  • Do team building activities, eg. Pre-season camps
  • Establish team standards of presentation
  • Develop trust and respect within the group
  • Develop informal roles within the group, eg. Fines master
20
Q

Social Loafing

A

Refers to the concept that people are prone to exert less effort on a task if they are in a group versus when they work individually. The idea of working in groups is typically seen as a way to improve the accomplishment of a task by pooling the skills and talents of the individuals in that group.

21
Q

Why Social Loafing Occurs

A
  • An individual athlete perceives other athletes to be working at a lower intensity which in turn gives them an excuse to put in less effort themselves
  • A belief that their efforts won’t make a difference to the team and little if any effect on the outcome and the desired outcome will still be reached
  • Avoiding hard work and assuming no one will notice in a large group (easier to hide in the pack)
  • Individuals feeling like their input is not essential in achieving the goal
22
Q

The Relationship Between Social Loafing and Group Cohesion

A
  • High social cohesion, low task cohesion, and low team norms seems to underlie perceptions of social loafing
  • Members of low-cohesiveness engaged in social loafing, whereas members of high-cohesiveness groups worked just as hard collectively
  • At the group level, increased group size and decreased cohesiveness were related to increased levels of social loafing. Group member perceptions of perceived coworker loafing was associated with reduced social loafing.
23
Q

Influence of Social Loafing on Individual and Group Performance

A
  • Individual athletes are prone to social loafing if they feel that the team can still perform well without maximum contribution from them. Particularly when all athletes in the team do the same task at the same time and there is no form of personal evaluation. Eg. Rowing crews
  • Social loafing by some athletes in teams of high self-confidence. The individual athlete perceives the team will win even without every player performing at their best and consequently puts in less effort
  • Individual effort towards the team performance increases where each players input is identifiable and consequently individual and team performance improves
  • Social loafing has a negative impact on individual and team performance causing below optimum performance
24
Q

Mental Skill Strategies

A
  • Arousal Levels
