Role Satisfaction Mediates the Relation between Role Ambiguity and Social Loafing among Elite Women Handball Players

“…Matches and individual players' performances are continuously identified and evaluated by coaches, public and the media. Identifying and evaluating individual contributions when one works in a collective context has also been shown to reduce social loafing (Hardy & Latané, 1988;Høigaard & Ommundsen, 2005;Williams, et al, 1989).…”

“…In addition, early social loafing research has predominantly investigated social loafing in coactive tasks/sports and tasks/sports (e.g., relay swimming), where individual input could be measured relatively precisely (Anshel, 1995;Hardy & Crace, 1991;Hardy & Latané, 1988;Høigaard & Ommundsen, 2005;Swain, 1996;Williams, et al, 1989). However, more recent research has moved towards interactive team sports (e.g., Høigaard & Ommundsen, 2007), where individual input is much harder to measure accurately (e.g., soccer).…”

Positive Effekte sozialen Faulenzens beim Lösen komplexer Probleme

“…Die Aufgabenstellung für die Probanden besteht darin, dass jeweils drei Personen gemeinsam mit den ihnen zur Verfügung stehenden Löschgeräten (Feuerwehrautos und Hubschrauber) einen Flächenbrand bekämpfen müssen, der in bestimmten Segmenten auf der Bildschirmoberfläche ausbricht. In Anlehnung an Steiners Taxonomie handelt es sich beim gemeinsamen Bekämpfen der Feuer um eine additive Optimierungsaufgabe (Steiner 1972 (Comer 1995;Earley 1989;Gabrenya et al 1983Gabrenya et al , 1985Williams, Nida, Baca und Latané 1989 (Karau und Williams 1993, 1995Shepperd 1993 (Duval und Wicklund 1972, 1973Wicklund 1975). Beim Lösen des komplexen Problems wird dieser Leistungsstandard nicht so einfach erzielt, weshalb sich Personen umso mehr anstrengen.…”

Social Loafing and Identifiability: The Mediating Role of Achievement Goal Orientations

“…Social loafing has been found to occur on tasks that require physical effort (e.g., swimming; see Williams, Nida, Baca, & Latane, 1989), rowing and hand grip (Hardy, 1989), running (Huddleston, Doody, & Ruder, 1985), and cognitive effort such as reacting to proposals (Brickner, Harkins, & Ostrom, 1986), solving mazes (Jackson & Williams, 1985), ROES: September 1996 and evaluating essays (Petty, Harkins, & Williams, 1980). Furthermore, social loafing was found to be prevalent among both males and females of differing ages (Harkins, Latane, & Williams, 1980), in standing as well as ad hoc groups (Hardy & Latane, 1988), and in both laboratory as well as field settings (Williams et al, 1989) (see Hardy, 1990, for a more detailed review).…”
