Abstract(s)
O estudo da team resilience na psicologia das equipas é relativamente prematuro na literatura, mas já tem revelado exercer um papel importante em várias dinâmicas grupais e na relação entre variáveis presentes no mundo desportivo. Neste sentido, o objetivo deste estudo prende-se com a compreensão do papel mediador da team resilience na relação entre a liderança transformacional e transacional e a coesão grupal. Para este efeito, foram recolhidos dados de 328 atletas de diversas equipas e diversas modalidades que preencheram um questionário constituído pelas escalas MLQ-5X (Liderança), GEQ (Coesão Grupal) e CREST Inventory (Team Resilience) bem como algumas questões sócio-demográficas. Os resultados obtidos evidenciaram correlações positivas entre todas as variáveis em estudo e suas dimensões e uma mediação significativa da team resilience na relação entre a liderança e a coesão grupal. Os resultados obtidos neste estudo sugerem que a relação entre a liderança, tanto no seu estilo transformacional como transacional, e a coesão grupal pode ser explicada pela presença da team resilience no contexto. Limitações, propostas de estudos futuros e algumas implicações para a prática são delineados.
The study of the team resilience construct is relatively recent in team psychology’s literature, but it has already been revealed to play an important role in various group dynamics and in relation with many present variables in the sport’s world. To accomplish this, the aim of this study was to comprehend the mediator role of team resilience in the relationship between transformational and transactional leadership and group cohesion. For this effect, it was collected a total of 328 athletes, from various teams and types of sports, who responded to an online questionnaire which contained the scales MLQ-5X (leadership), GEQ (group cohesion) and CREST Inventory (Team Resilience) and some social-demographic data. The results obtained showed positive correlations between all the variables present in this study, and their factors, and a mediation effect of team resilience in the relationship between leadership and group cohesion. With this, we introduced the idea that the relation between leadership, transformational and transactional, and group cohesion may be explained by the presence of the team resilience in the context. Limitations, future studies and practical implications are outlined.
