Abstract in brief

  • This study conducted a detailed meta-analysis to better understand how group cohesion relates to different types of performance, focusing on specific criteria such as behavior, efficiency, and workflow patterns.
  • The findings showed that cohesion is more strongly linked to performance when performance is measured by behavior rather than outcome, and efficiency rather than effectiveness, especially as team activities become more intensive.
  • The research also found that the three main components of cohesion independently influence various performance outcomes, providing insights for organizations and guiding future research on how cohesion impacts group success.]
