Influence of participation motivation on success and satisfaction in team performance
Abstract
The present study determined the effect of affiliation and task motivation on the success and satisfaction of college intramural basketball teams. Over 1,200 male college students, members of 144 basketball teams, responded to a pre- and post-season questionnaire which assessed affiliation and task motivation as well as team satisfaction. Teams were categorized into low, moderate, and high levels for both affiliation and task motivation. The number of games won determined success. An Affiliation Motivation × Task Motivation (3 × 3) factorial design was used. The multivariate ANOVA for the affiliation hypothesis was significant, indicating that high affiliation-motivated teams in contrast to moderate- and low-affiliation-motivated teams were less successful but more satisfied. High task-motivated teams, on the other hand, were more successful and more satisfied than moderate or low task-motivated teams. No significant interaction between task and affiliation motivation was found.
... Historical research has consistently demonstrated the benefits of participative decisionmaking. Martens (1970) found that participative practices could have statistically significant effects on performance and motivation, leading to higher output and better quality of work. Additionally, participation can meet the growing employee demand for meaningful and fulfilling work, contributing to reduced turnover and absenteeism. ...
... Jamila et al (2006) address wage discrimination in Bangladesh's garment sector, indirectly pointing to the role of participation in addressing systemic inequalities. Martens (1970) investigates how motivation and participation affect team performance, showing that higher participation leads to better outcomes and satisfaction. Newstrom and Davis (2004) offer a comprehensive overview of organizational behaviour, reinforcing the positive effects of participatory decision-making on employee behaviour and organizational dynamics. ...
This study explores the link between employee participation in decision-making and their commitment to the organization, with an emphasis on factors like job satisfaction, job security, and quality control. Using a mixed-method approach, data was gathered through quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews with employees from various sectors. The analysis aimed to assess how participation in decision-making affects organizational commitment. The findings show that employees who are involved in decision-making processes tend to have higher job satisfaction and a stronger sense of commitment to the organization. Participation fosters trust in leadership and a sense of ownership, leading to improved morale. However, some negative outcomes were noted, such as increased stress and conflict when decision-making processes are not transparent or well-managed. Job security was found to be a significant factor influencing employees’ willingness to engage in decision-making activities. The study concludes that fostering a culture of employee participation can enhance organizational commitment, but organizations must be mindful of potential challenges. Transparent, inclusive decision-making processes are essential for maximizing the benefits of participation while minimizing negative consequences. Future research should examine how different organizational structures impact employee participation and commitment.

RESUMEN La predicción del desempeño es un tema que ha generado interés en diversas áreas como la Ingeniería de pavimentos, las Finanzas, el Diseño de software, la Genética, la Psicología y la Ingeniería eléctrica. En el área de Factores Humanos son escasos los estudios enfocados en la aplicación de conceptos y herramientas orientados a la predicción de posibles niveles de desempeño a obtener como resultado de la gestión de equipo humano en el ambiente de trabajo. El presente trabajo tiene por objetivo proponer un modelo de predicción basado en redes neuronales que incluye variables de diversa índole, propuestas en áreas importantes como la Psicología organizacional, los Factores Humanos y la Macroergonomía. INTRODUCCIÓN El desempeño humano es un tema que ha sido objeto de estudio por parte de diversos autores, quienes han realizado estudios tendientes a evaluar y cuantificar la relación entre el desempeño individual y factores como el nivel de conocimiento, la experiencia, la personalidad, la satisfacción laboral, los incentivos económicos, la motivación, el liderazgo y el diseño y la cultura organizacional (Jex y Britt, 2008). El desempeño se define como el conjunto de comportamientos en el ámbito laboral que contribuyen al logro de las metas organizacionales, los cuales pueden ser evaluados en términos de resultados (efectividad), costos asociados al logro de una meta u objetivo (productividad), tiempo (eficiencia) y valor que tiene para la organización un determinado nivel de desempeño (utilidad) (Jex y Britt, 2008). En la caracterización del desempeño humano tiene relevancia la incertidumbre asociada al comportamiento humano, cuya naturaleza es representada a través de modelos de desempeño (Jex y Britt, 2008). Estos modelos pueden representar aspectos técnicos asociados
... Sport motivation has typically been studied piecemeal, and models of motivation have relied on relatively simple heuristics. For example, when Fiedler's (1958) classic work was extended into sport domains, researchers differentiated task motivation from social motivation (e.g., Martens, 1970). This distinction finds its echo in program design when administrators talk about "recreational" versus "intensive" programs. ...
Sport development has become a leading issue for sport policymakers and sport managers worldwide. Sport development systems have two main objectives: to increase the number of participants actively engaged in sport and to enhance the quality of performances in sport. This is the foundation of the much used, but rarely examined, pyramid analogy in sport development. In this article, the pyramid model of sport development is explored, and its underlying assumptions are critiqued. Three tasks necessary for an effective pyramid model are identified: athlete recruitment, athlete retention, and athlete transitions. Recruitment requires the assistance of significant others, as well as the proliferation of many smaller, local-level sport programs. Retention requires a focus on motivation, socialization, and commitment. Advancement requires that programs be linked vertically and that athletes be aided in processes of locating and socializing into new levels of involvement. Although specific strategies for enhancing recruitment, retention, and transition of athletes can be identified from the literature, further research is needed.
... so they hold themselves to high requirements when it comes to developing a dance couple. Similar conclusions were drawn by Martens (1970), who found that teams that were high in task motivation were more successful and satisfied than those teams that were low in task motivation. A number of subsequent studies have found similar results (e.g., Arnold & Straub, 1972;Carron, Ball, & Chelludurai, 1977;Widmeyer, 1977). ...
Background
Dance is an extremely complicated sports discipline, which combines features of the “original” form of dance associated with the expression of self and one’s emotions while maintaining the qualities of a competitive sport. It is particularly important for the cooperation of a couple to develop a relationship during training so that the partners feel satisfaction from working with each other, but are also pleased with the results in the discipline in which they train.
The aim of this study was to analyse the factors responsible for the satisfaction with cooperation in a couple, which included, among other things, the dance level, degree of involvement and responsibility of each partner for the development of the couple.
Participants and procedure
The study involved 30 dance couples aged 13-26 years (M = 16.48, SD = 2.16). Participants completed two questionnaires (Own Poll and the Dyadic Trust Scale [DTS]) and provided demographic information in a quiet environment, usually at their education or training facilities.
Results
The results indicated the importance of their own and perceived partner involvement in the development of the couple for the satisfaction from the success in the sport. It is surprising, however, that the results reveal no association between dance experience and satisfaction of practising sport analysed in the study.
Conclusions
Satisfaction plays an important role in relationships of pair dancers. In dancing, satisfaction may derive from subjective rather than objective factors, mainly those related to the relationship in the couple.
... Studies on group decisionmaking (see Guzzo & Dickson, 1996) have found that computers do affect group outcomes and performance. This research literature on groups also suggests other meeting aspects which warrant examination (see Levine & Moreland, 1985;Martens, 1970) For instance, perhaps the number of attendees at the meeting and the extent to which the individual participated in the meeting may affect well-being and other outcomes. ...
... Cohen-Powless, Rogelberg, and Luong (2003) found that certain meeting design characteristics (e.g., prompt starting and ending times) result in greater attendee satisfaction. The research literature on groups also suggests other meeting aspects that warrant examination (see Levine & Moreland, 1998;Martens, 1970). For instance, perhaps the number of meeting attendees and the extent to which the individual participated in the meeting affect well-being and other outcomes. ...
Meetings are an integral part of organizational life; however, few empirical studies have systematically examined the phenomenon and its effects on employees. By likening work meetings to interruptions and daily hassles, the authors proposed that meeting load (i.e., frequency and time spent) can affect employee well-being. For a period of 1 week, participants maintained daily work diaries of their meetings as well as daily self-reports of their well-being. Using hierarchical linear modeling analyses, the authors found a significant positive relationship between number of meetings attended and daily fatigue as well as subjective workload (i.e., more meetings were associated with increased feelings of fatigue and workload).

Theoretical knowledge which obtained at different stages of long-term training belongs to the system of athletes’ values. Its form the prerequisites for successful formation and maintenance of the sportsmanship level and harmonious development of personality. The purpose of the study: to determine the effectiveness of information search methods use in improving the theoretical training of qualified athletes in weightlifting. Research methods: theoretical analysis and generalization, documentary method, sociological methods (questionnaire), pedagogical experiment, methods of mathematical statistics. The athletes at the stages of preparation for higher achievements and maximum realization of individual opportunities in weightlifting (13 athletes had the qualification Master of Sports of Ukraine and 6 – Candidate of Master of Sports of Ukraine) were involved in the formative pedagogical experiment. A feature of the proposed pedagogical experiment was the use of two experimental programs to improve the athletes’ theoretical preparedness. Common features for them were the use of information search methods and self-education. For the athletes of the first experimental group, the task was to conduct an information search with the involvement of the source base of the library LSUofPhC. Participants of the second experimental group had the opportunity to increase the level of preparedness by working at LSUofPhC computer class with access to databases on the Internet. Results. Intragroup increments of athletes’ theoretical preparedness (14.86−64.00%) on the main information blocks and topics indicated the effectiveness of methods of information search and self-education of theoretical training in weightlifting at the stages of preparation for higher achievements and maximum realization of individual opportunities. There were no differences (0.69−2.38% of correct problem solving at p> 0.05) between athletes who conducted an information search using the source database of the LSUofPhC library and those who used access to Internet databases.
Describes a complex of methods for the implementation of scientific research, the information of those who were researched is represented, methodology and methods of the research are described.Covers a wide range of problems, in particular a comprehensive study of motivation for both physical activity (needs, interests, self-conception, performance, leisure and factors of a healthy lifestyle), and for learning and succeeding.Objective: to study gender peculiarities and differences in self-description of physical development of schoolchildren. Material: The study involved schoolchildren of 5-11 grades (n = 638), among them: young men - 282, girls - 386. Correlation analysis of self-description of subjective indexes of physical development of schoolchildren has been conducted. Results: Using the results of the testing “Self-description of physical development”. It was found out that the correlational connection of indicators of self-description of the physical development of respondents of all ages have certain gender differences. We found that general self-esteem of boys of primary school age is affected by more indicators than of the girls. Young men associate with their own self-esteem and physical qualities: coordination and flexibility. Girls associate their health with physical activity and their own physical abilities. Conclusions: The obtained results of the scientific experiment give us the right to assert the existence of age and gender differences between the indicators of self-description of boys and girls who are engaged in and not engaged in sports. The study of self-assessment of physical boys and girls of different ages helped to draw conclusions about common and different priorities of the motivational sphere of physical culture and sports in gender and age.
Some of the determinants of leisure participation were identified and investigated. Among those determinants were leisure attitude, age, and sex. Studies investigating the relationships among leisure satisfaction and leisure participation and leisure attitude had not been conclusive. In this study, utilizing step-wise analysis and correlation of coefficient satisfaction was found to be the strongest contributor and predicator of leisure participation, more than any other variables, such as; leisure attitude, income, age, mode of employment, or length of marriage. Years of education and sex were found to be additional determinants of participation. Moreover, leisure satisfaction was the only variable which contributed to leisure attitude.
Six categories of leisure were utilized. Leisure satisfaction associated with those categories in this order, the strongest relation was with hobbies, then cultural activities, sports activities, social activities, outdoor activities, and mass media activities.
The purpose of this study was to examine whether, across a season of competition, women's intercollegiate coacting (gymnastics, swimming) and interacting (lacrosse, basketball) teams differed in cohesion. Seventy female athletes ranging in age from 18-22 years (gymnastics, n = 18; swimming, n = 22; lacrosse, n = 16; basketball, n = 13) participated in the study. The Group Environment Questionnaire (Widmeyer, Brawley, & Carron, 1985), which is composed of four subscales: Attraction to the Group-Task (ATG-T), Attraction to the Group-Social (ATG-S), Group Integration-Task (GI-T), Group Integration-Social (GI-S) was used to measure cohesion. Testing for cohesion occurred pre-season (3 days prior to first regular competition), mid-season, and post-season, A 2 × 2 ANCOVA was utilized to compare coacting and interacting team cohesion scores on each subscale at mid-season and post-season. Preseason measures were utilized as covariates. A significant sport by time interaction (p<.05) was found on only the ATG-T subscale at mid-season with coacting teams displaying significantly greater changes in cohesion than interacting teams. These findings are discussed in terms of gender, type of activity, overall season performance, and NCAA division status.
The present study examined the interactive effects of participation motivation (task, self, and interaction) expressed in early season and successful performance (n = 183) experienced throughout the collegiate hockey season upon satisfaction expressed post-season with individual and team performance. The experimental design consisted of a 2 × 2 factorial comprising two levels of motivation (high vs low) and two levels of success (successful vs unsuccessful). The results indicated that success, motivations, and the various interactions had no effect upon satisfaction with individual performance. Both success and high task-motive resulted in heightened levels of satisfaction in regard to team performance.
Performance differences in dynamic and static balance ability of 150 preschool Ss aged 3,4, and 5 yr. were studied. Ss performed 4 balance-beam tasks and 2 balance-board tasks. An Age by Sex (3 × 2) factorial, design employing both univariate and multivariate ANOVA techniques were the statistics used. For both dynamic and static balance Age was highly significant, and the use of multivariate ANOVA indicated significant sex differences on the static balance tasks. The appropriateness of multivariate techniques where more than one dependent variable is measured on the same population was discussed, and the need to take into account the relationship between these variables when analyzing the data was noted.
In sport, the small group is represented by the team—a network of people who possess a collective identity, have a sense of shared purposes or objectives, use structured patterns of interaction and modes of communication, exhibit personal and task interdependence, and reciprocate interpersonal attraction. This paper discusses research pertaining to the small group in sport within a general systems framework comprised of inputs (personal and environmental factors), throughputs (group interaction and integration processes), and outputs (achievement factors and personal-social factors).
Motivational characteristics are influential in shaping adolescents' desire to persist in sport or to discontinue their sport participation. Self-determination theory (Deci & Ryan, 2000) was utilized as the theoretical framework for this study. This theory examines whether sustained participatory involvement, defined as continued participation in the sport through the next year, was influenced by individuals' self-determined motivation and by the fulfillment of the three basic psychological needs of autonomy, competence, and relatedness. Four hundred ninety two soccer players between the ages of 13 and 17 years comprised the sample. Results indicated sport dropout was explained by higher levels of amotivation, external regulation, and introjected regulation and by lower satisfaction of relatedness and autonomy needs. The findings of this study contribute to the knowledge base on sport dropout as they supported many of self-determination theory.
This exploratory study determined if the responses of male varsity basketball players to six factors influencing cohesion were a function of level of competitive intensity and/or the importance of the players to their team. Players on intact teams from five levels of competition – elementary school, junior high school, senior high school, small college and large college–responded to a cohesion questionnaire at the end of the season. Coaches designated five players with the most game playing time as “starters” and five players with the least game playing time as “reserves.” A team factor score for Team Performance Satisfaction, Self Performance Satisfaction, Task Cohesion, Affiliation Cohesion, Desire for Recognition and Value of Membership was calculated. Each team factor score served as the dependent variable in a 2 (player status) × 5 (level of competition) analysis ofcovariance design, with teams nested in the second factor. The won-loss record served as the covariate. Results indicated that “starters” were more satisfied with their own performance, were more task conscious, had a greater affiliation desire, and valued their membership on the team to a greater degree than the “reserves.” The elementary and junior high school team members were significantly more satisfied with the team's performance, were more satisfied with their own self performance, were more affiliation conscious, and valued their team membership to a greater degree than did college team members. The interaction between player status and level of competition was not significant for any of the factor scores.
