Teammate Prosocial and Antisocial Behaviors Predict Task Cohesion and Burnout: The Mediating Role of Affect

“…Antisocial teammate behaviors may be the outcome intra-team conflict, which has been negatively related to task cohesion in previous research (e.g., McLaren et al, 2016;Sullivan & Feltz, 2001). Taken collectively, these findings have implications for the conceptual model of team building (Carron & Spink, 1993) as they suggest that the psychosocial context of a team as reflected in teammate behaviors may be an important antecedent of task cohesion.…”

“…Moreover, they extend earlier findings of Al-Yaaribi et al (2016) by identifying relationships between prosocial and antisocial behaviors and the recipient's affect, task cohesion, and burnout. Lastly, the present study makes a significant contribution to the recent body of literature highlighting teammate as a crucial social agent in sport (e.g., DeFreese & Smith, 2014;McLaren et al, 2016Smith, 2007. Table1 1 Descriptive Statistics,Alpha Coefficients, Note.…”

“…For example, expressing frustration at a teammate's (bad) performance could lead the recipient to think that he or she is unable to contribute to team goals, leading him or her to experience a reduced sense of team unity. In past research (McLaren, Newland, Eys, & Newton, 2016), task cohesion was inversely associated with intra-team conflict (e.g., criticizing their teammates when they make mistakes), which refers to negative behaviors expected to undermine interpersonal relationships (Ntoumanis & Vazou, 2005). Sullivan and Feltz (2001) reported similar findings between task cohesion and destructive intra-team conflict (i.e., showing anger at a teammate).…”

“…Specifically, we expected that antisocial behaviors would be negatively related to task cohesion (e.g., McLaren et al, 2016) and positively associated with burnout (e.g., DeFreese & Smith, 2014). We also hypothesized that affect would mediate the relationships between teammate behaviors with task cohesion and burnout.…”

Estudo exploratório da Coesão em atletas juniores de futebol

“…De acordo com pesquisas anteriores (McLaren, Newland, Eys & Newton, 2016) foi constatado que a coesão direcionada à tarefa foi inversamente associada ao conflito dentro do time (por exemplo, um indivíduo criticando seu companheiro de equipe quando comete erros), referindo-se a comportamentos negativos que podem prejudicar as relações interpessoais entre os envolvidos na situação (Ntoumanis & Vazou, 2005). Além disso, jogadores de futebol e de basquete que percebem que seus companheiros de equipe apresentam comportamento antissocial em relação a eles durante uma partida, relataram sentir maior nível de raiva (Al-Yaaribi, Kavussanu & Ring, 2016), enquanto as percepções dos atletas de interações sociais negativas foram associadas à ansiedade (Defreese & Smith, 2014).…”
