The Mediating Effect of Group Cohesion Modulated by Resilience in the Relationship between Perceived Stress and Military Life Adjustment

This study’s purpose was to investigate the relationship among soldiers’ perceived stress, group cohesion, military life adjustment, and resilience. Specifically, we aimed to verify the mediating effect of cohesion and the modulating effect of resilience. In addition, we examined the mediated modulating effect of resilience within the comprehensive relationship among variables. The research participants comprised 300 soldiers from two different army troops, and a total of 285 data points were analyzed, excluding unfinished responses. The main results were as follows. First, we identified the mediated effect of cohesion in the relationship between soldiers’ perceived stress and their military life adjustment. Second, resilience showed a moderating effect in the relationship between soldiers’ cohesion and military life adjustment. Third, while on the path of moving from perceived stress to successful military life adjustment through cohesion, resilience modulated the relationship between cohesion and military life adjustment. Lastly, in this paper, we address this study’s implications and limitations.

Documenting the Longitudinal Relationship between Group Conflict and Group Cohesion

ABSTRACT Group scholars have devoted a considerable amount of attention to the dynamics of group conflict and group cohesion. This investigation contends that both dynamics are closely related, such that they are related causally. A three-wave longitudinal investigation is reported that examines the extent to which this is the case. Results suggest that group conflict has a strong negative effect on group cohesion over time, and that this is the case despite controlling for the effect of past cohesion on future cohesion (i.e., the cohesion autoregressions). Alternatively, the negative effects of group cohesion on group conflict are much more limited and were deemed trivial. These results suggest that group conflict is a strong causal indicator of group cohesion, but that the causal effect of group cohesion on group conflict is much more limited. Future scholarship is encouraged to investigate the extent to which certain variables moderate the group conflict → group cohesion relationship, such that the negative effects of group conflict are attenuated or perhaps reversed.

The therapist, the group and I: how therapeutic alliance moderates the effect of group cohesion on outcomes

PurposeThis study aims to investigate whether the influence of group cohesion on the outcomes depended on the levels of the therapeutic alliance.Design/methodology/approachSixteen individuals with a substance use disorder who were undergoing treatment in a therapeutic community responded to therapeutic alliance, group cohesion, craving and outcomes measures after every therapeutic small group session for a period of six weeks. Data analysis was performed using hierarchical linear modeling.FindingsResults indicate that the effect of group cohesion is stronger when there is a high therapeutic alliance between resident and therapist.Originality/valueEven on group interventions, to enhance group cohesion effects on outcomes, therapists must foster higher therapeutic alliance levels. The findings point out the importance of studying the effect of common factors on outcomes.

Role of group cohesiveness in targeted mobile promotions

While past research has explored the effects of different targeted promotion strategies (e.g., temporal, geographical, crowdedness-based), it is yet to take into account the effect of social context (e.g., group cohesiveness) on consumer responses to such promotions. We develop a metric for measuring tie-strengths between individuals in a co-located group and compute a holistic measure, group cohesiveness, from longitudinal physical location data. We deploy this new metric in a field experiment to explore the effect of group cohesiveness (high vs. low) on consumer responses to mobile promotions of varying lead-times. Across all our studies, we demonstrate that shorter promotion lead-times are preferred more by individuals in the presence of high cohesive groups (versus low cohesive groups). Thus, marketers should take advantage of social context attributes (such as group cohesiveness), which can be derived from ubiquitous location tracking data to tailor their promotion based on consumers’ real-time activities.

The role of top-level supportive leadership: A multilevel, trickle-down, moderating effects test in Chinese hospitality and tourism firms

This study explores and tests the role of top-level supportive leadership on both individual and group members in hospitality and tourism firms, examining the trickle-down model of top-level supportive leadership through not only middle-level supportive leadership, but group cohesion and also moderation of top-level supportive leadership on both middle-level supportive leadership–service quality and group cohesion–service quality relationships, which extend and enrich the trickle-down model of leadership. Hierarchical linear modeling was used to assess a sample of 2009 employee–supervisor pairs across 112 departments in 35 Chinese hospitality and tourism firms. The results suggest that top-level supportive leadership relates positively to employees’ service quality, which trickles down through middle-level supportive leadership, excepting group cohesion; top-level supportive leadership strengthens the positive effect of middle-level supportive leadership on employee service quality, triggering positive effects of group cohesion.

여행서비스접점에서 집단 구성원 간의 사회적 영향

This study explored the role of group cohesiveness and psychological distance with tour guides in the relationship between customer interactions and conformity intention with other customers’ complaints in a travel group. Surveys were administered to Korean travelers who have experience in overseas package tours. A total of 276 valid responses were collected and analyzed using PROCESS path modeling. The results showed direct and indirect interactions between customers have a direct influence on group cohesiveness, and group cohesiveness also has a direct influence on conformity intention. On the other hand, only direct interactions between customers directly affect conformity intention with other customers’ complaints, and the verification of the mediating effect of group cohesiveness showed that both direct and indirect interactions between customers had an indirect effect on conformity intention by fully mediating group cohesiveness. Finally, the psychological distance with the tour guide was shown to moderate indirect effect of direct interaction between customers on conformity intention by mediating group cohesiveness. The results of this study demonstrate that group cohesiveness and psychological distance with tour guides are critical variables to the group behavior through social interaction among travel group members, suggesting that travel enterprises must consider the role of tour guide in terms of customer cohesion and customer relationship in the travel group.

To encourage employees to speak up, managers should pay attention to group cohesion in terms of both cohesion level and strength.Originality/valueThis study is the first to examine the mechanism and condition of the effect of group cohesion on employee voice, thus extending knowledge on the situational factors influencing voice behavior.

Does group cohesion moderate auditors’ whistleblowing intentions?

Prior whistleblowing research documents various relationships between certain individual characteristics and the intention to report workplace irregularities (whistleblow). However, auditors are trained to work in teams and to make decisions in consultation with the group. We study the extent to which an individual auditor’s ethical judgment may be affected by the strength of group cohesiveness in the audit team. Our research extends prior studies on whistleblowing in the auditing context by examining the moderating effect of group cohesion on the relationship between several individual characteristics and whistleblowing intentions. Results based on survey data of 54 audit teams comprising 226 external auditors indicate significant relationships between nearly all individual characteristics (attitudes, perceived behavioral control, independence commitment and personal responsibility for reporting, and personal cost of reporting) and whistleblowing intentions. However, we find no significant relationship between desired moral approbation and whistleblowing intentions. Further, we find the presence of strong group cohesion reduces the tendency of whistle-blowing intentions of individuals with strong individual characteristics. Though further research is warranted, our study suggests the need for audit firms to assess both group cohesiveness and individual characteristics when assembling audit teams.

Too Close to Speak Up? How Group Cohesion and Status Conflict Affect Group Voice

Although group network characteristics significantly influence a group’s capability to exchange and absorb knowledge by speaking up group members’ opinions, previous research on voice behavior has not yet fully addressed the social and relational factors in work groups that affect group- level voice. Specifically, in line with the “dark side of social capital” argument, this study examines the effects of group cohesion (i.e., network density) on group voice behavior, and further investigates when and how the effects occur. In addition, we believe these effects vary based on the group’s perception of status conflicts. Using data from 55 work groups, we found an inverted U-shaped relationship between group density and group voice behavior. Moreover, it was observed that the status conflict moderated the inverted-U effect of group density on group voice, such that: when status conflict is high, 1) overall level of group voice was reduced, 2) group voice turned to decrease faster on the downward side of the inverted-U curve. We discussed the theoretical and practical implications of these results with relation to effective group management.
