- steiner's model
- Actual productivity = potential productivity - losses due to faulty processes.
- There are two faulty processes that bring about losses in potential productivity:
- (1) Co-ordination losses (ringleman effect). any breakdown in teamwork is regarded as a co-ordination loss.
- Ringleman stated that problems in team co-ordination are more likely to occur as the number of the team increases.
- (2) Motivation losses (social lofing). Motivational losses relate to an individual who suffers a decrease in motivation during performance causing the player to withdraw effort.
- Negative influences that cause social loafing: team mates aren't trying = less effort. If the player feels like they are never watches.
- (1) Co-ordination losses (ringleman effect). any breakdown in teamwork is regarded as a co-ordination loss.
- Task Cohesion
- This is most important in interactive sports and activities. Task Cohesion relates to the way team members work with each other to complete a task. successfully
- Social Cohesion
- This is most important in co-active sports or activities. Social cohesion involves the formation of personal relationships within the group that provide the individual with support and friendship.
- Factors that affect team cohesion
- (1) SITUATIONAL FACTORS - these include elements of specific situation and environment in which the team will operate.
- (2) INDIVIDUAL FACTORS - these refer to the characteristics of the team members. The motivation level and the experience of the individual members are examples.
- (3) LEADERSHIP FACTORS - these involve the style of leadership preferred by the group.
- (4) TEAM FACTORS - these include collective team goals, good communication and a record of shared success.
- Groups of players must have an intangible bond to fulfill their true potential. This bond is strengthened by:
- Socialising together to get to know and respect one another. Having a common goal. Generating pride and belief in a project shared with all the team.
- 'A group is two or more persons who are interacting with one another in such a manner that each person influences and is influences by each other person' -SHAW M E 1976
- For a collection of people to be defined as a group, the members must:
- Interact with one another, be socially attracted to each other, share goals or objectives, have a shared identity which distinguishes them from other groups
