Moderating Effects of Group Cohesiveness in Competency- Performance Relationships: A Multi-Level Study
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study examines the moderating effect of group cohesiveness both at the individual and at the group level. In the individual-level study, moderating effect of group cohesiveness was tested with 249 employees from a Korean manufacturing company. Group cohesiveness turned out to have a negative moderating effect on the individual competency-performance relationship, and this finding suggests that competency of a given group member would be restrained by other group members under high cohesiveness. For the group-level study, group data of 42 teams from the same company were formed. Unlike results at the individual level, group cohesiveness had a positive interaction effect with competency on performance at the group level. In other words, group cohesiveness reinforced competent group to achieve better performance.
