Abstract

This study investigated the impact of an outdoor management development (OMD) programme for teambuilding skills. A total of 26 first line recruitment managers attended and were asked to complete three questionnaires: (pre and post attendance) team climate inventory (TCI); occupational motivation questionnaire (OMQ); and the pressure management indicator (PMI). Of the participants, 12 (control group) were asked to complete the questionnaires one month prior to the course. Three of the four main TCI scales showed no improvement after the course. There was an increase in the post‐group scores for the achievement/development and stimulation scales of the occupational motivation questionnaire. However, the PMI results indicated that as many as 50 per cent of the participants were experiencing high levels of pressure and reported low levels of mental wellbeing pre and post attendance. It was concluded that a greater impact could be achieved if the participants were not over‐pressured and/or not experiencing low levels of mental wellbeing.
