“…Since groups have different size, as done by Murphy and Weinhardt, 2019, we A potential issue about both setups concerns students' information about their ability rank. Pagani et al, 2019, andYu, 2019, show evidence of a very strong and positive correlation between objective and self-perceived ability rank in very different setups (Italian primary schools and Chinese middle schools). We do not have data to show this correlation in our setups.…”

“…First, we focus on the linear-in-means model of peer effects and show that the omission of rank from the 2 Under tracking there is also less variability in ability. 3 Using survey data, previous studies have shown that the main channel behind the estimated rank effects on achievement is that rank improves non-cognitive skills such as self-confidence (Murphy and Weinhardt, 2019) and conscientiousness (Pagani et al, 2019).

“…Importantly, the vector X includes a set of dummies for each student's MS final mark to capture any cardinal effect of prior achievement on violent behavior. This is crucial to our identification strategy, as we want to compare students who have the same prior achievement and who differ only in their ordinal position in the high school class distribution of MS final marks (Elsner and Isphording 2017;Murphy and Weinhardt 2018;Comi et al 2020). As the final MS mark also encompasses an evaluation of student behavior at school, the inclusion of this set of dummies also helps to control for baseline differences in student violence at school because having a lower MS final mark is correlated with being less well behaved, less dutiful, and more troublesome.…”

“…There is also evidence that rank is relevant to personality and behavioral outcomes. Pagani, Comi and Origo (2020) study the effect of classroom rank on the Big Five personality traits of high school students and find a positive and sizeable effect of rank on conscientiousness. Elsner and Ishpording (2018) consider the effect of rank on subsequent risky behavior.…”

“…A positive aspect resulting from the ability to work in a group is also the ability to resolve conflicts and achieve job satisfaction (De Dreu and Van Vianen, 2001), which is an important factor in the sustainability of employment. Job satisfaction, which translates into a reduction in employee fluctuation, is influenced by another aspect related to working in a group, i.e., proper motivation and building proactive attitudes among employees (Pagani et al, 2019;Napolitano et al, 2020). The issues of proper group work are also reflected in the ability to resolve conflicts.…”

Purpose:The aim of this article is to investigate the relationship between the features that may affect the development of teamwork of students (future managers) who start their professional career. For the purposes of human resource management -employment and development of employees, it is important which of the social competences and to what extent strengthen the competence of teamwork. Design/Methodology/Approach: The analysis was based on research carried out over 2 years (2017)(2018) on a random sample of 265 university students. The method used in the research was a survey. The actual research was preceded by pilot studies validating the research tool and the scope of research issues -including the comprehensibility and unambiguity of questions. In the study and verification of the relationship, parametric tests were used, and to demonstrate the interactions between the factors, multivariate adaptive regression with the use of spline functions (MARS). Based on the obtained results, a mathematical model of the influence of the researched factors on the teamwork competence was proposed.Findings: The research results show a strong mutual dependence of social competences -the strongest impact on teamwork competences was (in particular, team management), conflict resolution competences, organizational skills, communication with the environment and strategic thinking. The analyzes contained in the article show that the study and then the improvement of employee competences should always be considered comprehensively and look for groups of mutually reinforcing competences. Practical implications: Research results can be a practical tool used in the recruitment and improvement of the company's managerial staff. The results of the research allow the management staff to improve selected managerial competences and at the same time to increase the market competitiveness of the entire enterprise. Originality / Value: Most of the articles in competency research focus on the analysis of a selected feature and its impact on, employment opportunities or the effectiveness of tasks performed. The article supplements the subject of personnel management by filling the cognitive gap regarding the mutual dependence of social competences that affect the effectiveness of the enterprise. The proposed model describes the level of team management competences in relation to other social competences enriches the choice of methods and tools for personnel management.
