A

team effectiveness and individual ability/skill were corrlated differently in different sports
0.60 basketball

Q

Variability in resources (diversity)

25
once a group with more diversity reach peak performance
diverse groups are equally productive and may even be more creative in problem-solving because members have access to a broader base of ideas for solutions
26
Usually diversity is good but sometimes being on the same page so less diversity could be
better for a task (depends really on the tasks being completed)
27
Diversity can also hurt performance because it can create
- Conflict - Misunderstandings - Communication problems - Lack of cohesion
28
factors to consider in Variability in resources (diversity)
- sex - ability - age: team tenure - racial identity/ ethnicity - social psychological characteristics
29
types of diverity
- surface level - deep level - perceived
30
surface level diversity
- sex - race - age - ability
31
deep level diversity
- values - attitudes - beliefs
32
perceived diversity
How the self differs from the group, the degree the group is diverse - perceived self-to-team dissimilarity - percieved group heterogeneitiy
33
Perceived self-to-team dissimilarity =
negative
34
Perceived group heterogeneity =
positive and negative depending on the group
35
gender diverse teams
- similarity breeds group think whereas variety fules deeper reflection and broadr learning - mixed team could be better?
36
Compatibility of group resources (fit)
- person- role - person-team - person-organization
37
coach-athlete relationship
person - team - high agreeableness (amount) is a good thing, and compatibility (fit) in extraversion and openness is a good thing as well
38
Sport Type Interdependence
- team vs individual sport
39
interdependence
the degree to which actions and goals of one person reciprocally influence another - task , outcome interdpendence
40
Sport Team Interdependence Typology : decision tree
(a) Members must consider themselves to be a group. (b) Task interdependence refers to whether teammates must interact during the competitive task. (c) Types of task interdependence include integrated, segregated, and none. (d) Group outcome interdependence refers to whether group-level outcomes are applicable during competition. (e) Individual outcome interdependence refers to whether group members directly compete against one another during competition. (refer to picture in lecture slides)
41
overall point of Considering your context
Knowing your context will help you understand what you need in terms of your members
42
Inserting the “I’s” into a Team : what are the 3
- Identifying - Selecting - Integrating
43
step 1 :
identify relevant human capital
44
identify relevant human capital
Some teams do not perform because they do not have the qualities and characteristics required for success
45
Human Capital
Can be thought of as members’ knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs)
46
task-specific progiciencies
- skill - fitness - creativity
47
interpersonal skills
- coversational skill - emotional intelligence - character
48
step 2
select the 'right' people
49
Sport researchers advocate the importance of selecting people that
align with a team’s vision/culture
50
method of selecting
- interviews - assessment centers - situational judgement tests (SJT) - combinations
51
interviews
most used, lack of consistency, what is assessed?
52
assessment centers
activity-based to assess KSAs
53
situational judgement tests (SJT)
work related situations, assess suggested responses
54
combinations
combinations of above methods
55
Sport research has tended to focus on:
- Selection based on anthropometric, physiological, or objective performance - Not being selected/being deselected - Youth talent identification in junior hockey desire : work ethic, passion, character, leadership avoid: selfishness, poor body language, parental issues
56
what is research needed on ?
METHODS of selection in sport
57
Information Coaches Use to Make Team Selection Decisions
- Information related to players (e.g., skills, injuries, performance data) - Information related to themselves (e.g., game plan, intuition)- - Other sources (e.g., assistant coaches) - Situation (e.g., positional demands, rules) - Important to remember this process is very context-specific
58
step 3

The process through which individuals adjust to the demands and responsibilities of a new group
60
how do player adjust and take resonsbilites in team
- acquire an understanding of their role - develop the appropriate skills and abilities - adjust to norms and values of the group

Reflects a more chaotic and unpredictable learning path which encourages people to explore and redefine their organizational responsibilities
64
examples included in Institutionalized Tactics
- collective tactics - formal tactics - sequential tactics - serial tactics - investiture tactics
65
collective tactics
uniform training/learning experience's
66

69
individual tactics
personalized training and instruction
70
informal tactics
trial and error
71
random tactics
stages of progression unpredictable
72
Disjunctive tactics
Newcomers receive no guidance
73
Divestiture tactics
Newcomer identity disconfirmed (i.e., conform or get out)
74
Serial tactics
Members pass information to newcomers
75
Investiture tactics
Newcomer identity reinforced (i.e., come as you are)
76
Institutionalized Tactics: Relevant outcomes: Collective, formal, sequential, serial, and investiture =
- increase in self efficacy - role ambiguity decreases - perceived fit increases - job satisfaction increases - intentions to remain increases
77
