“…Since then, an extensive line of research has been undertaken on the phenomenon of social loafing, which is now understood as a common phenomenon that occurs in numerous tasks and by both genders (Caracuel et al, 2011;Haugen et al, 2016;Karau and Williams, 2016). In particular, public evaluation or making public the contribution of each member to the total performance of the group, have been highlighted as key situational factors in inhibiting part of social loafing, supporting the idea that this phenomenon could be explained as a loss of motivation caused by a lower degree of recognition or evaluation (Kerr and Bruun, 1983;Harkins, 1987;René et al, 2006;Gavala González, 2010;Gavala-González, 2012;Hagen, 2015;Latané et al, 2019). Furthermore, this effect appears to significantly reduce when the participants feel that they belong to a cohesive group, are satisfied with their role in the team, see high levels of collective performance (Hogg and Vaughan, 2010;Høigaard et al, 2010), are top-level athletes (Jaenes et al, 2018), previously knew the teammates (Kerr and Bruun, 1983;Harkins, 1987) or regularly compete in teams (Czyż et al, 2016).…”
