Abstract(s)
O presente estudo teve como objetivo explorar a relação entre o Fun at work e o desempenho de equipas e investigar esta relação mediada pela coesão.
Deste modo, a amostra é constituída por 36 equipas de vários setores, sendo 75% no setor da construção civil (27 equipas).
Para avaliar as variáveis em estudo foram utilizados três instrumentos: a escala de 18 itens de Fun at work de McDowell (2005); foi utilizada a versão reduzida da escala Self-Rated Performance de Williams e Anderson (1991), originalmente composto por 21 itens (a versão reduzida é composta por 4 itens); e ainda a escala de coesão MSCI (Multidimensional Sport Cohesion Instrument) que apresenta 22 itens.
Os resultados sugerem que não existe relação positiva entre a coesão e o desempenho. A hipótese do efeito mediador da coesão no Fun at work e desempenho não foi corroborada.
Por sua vez, os resultados sugerem que existe uma relação positiva entre o Fun at work e a coesão e entre o Fun at work e o desempenho. Estes resultados servem de exemplo visto que pretendem elucidar que tipo de ferramentas as equipas podem utilizar.
The present study aimed to explore a relationship between Fun at work and team performance and investigate this relationship mediated by cohesion. To this end, the sample is 36 teams from various sectors, being 75% in the construction sector (27 teams). In order to evaluate the variables it was required three instruments: the 18 items of McDowell´s Fun at work scale (2005); the reduced version of Williams and Anderson´s Self-Rated Performance (1991), originally composed by 21 items. This reduced version is a 4 items scale and the 22 items cohesion scale MSCI (Multidimensional Sport Cohesion Instrument) The results allow conclude that there is not a positive relation between cohesion and performance. The hypothesis about the mediator effect of cohesion in Fun at work and performance was not corroborated. In it´s turn, the results suggests that there is a positive relation between Fun at work and cohesion and between Fun at work and performance.
