摘要
The study investigates the relationship between cohesiveness and group effectiveness. The link between the two constructs is predicted to be moderated by the orientation (whether task or nontask) and strength of work group norms. Data from a 1995 survey of army units in the Danish military were used. Multiple regression was used to rest hypotheses, and the results indicated strong support for the existence of a moderator.
