Abstract:

A U.S. Navy study examined the relationship between one facet of Collectivism and team member performance. The facet of Goal Priority was found to predict team member performance incrementally above cognitive ability. The sample consisted of 60 participants (78% uniformed Navy personnel) formed into 15 teams of four. According to the results of this study, it appears that being willing to set the team's goals above the individual's goals is indicative of someone who will perform better in a team environment.
