LOPEZ-GAJARDO, Miguel A et al. Relationship between intra-group conflicts and performance in collective sports: mediator effect of collective efficacy. CPD [online]. 2022, vol.22, n.1, pp.57-66.  Epub 19-Sep-2022. ISSN 1989-5879.  https://dx.doi.org/10.6018/cpd.473361.

The present study aimed to analyze the relationship between intra-group conflict and team perceived performance at the end of the season, and to examine the mediating effect of collective efficacy on this relationship. 420 semi-professional and amateur players (M = 22,40; SD = 4,71) of basketball, handball, soccer and volleyball participated. The results showed that intra-group conflict (task and social) was negatively related to team performance and collective efficacy showed significant results acting as a mediator between the relationship of intra-group conflict (task and social) and team perceived performance. Therefore, it is important to highlight that intra-group conflict seems to worsen the collective functioning and that collective efficacy can soften this negative relationship, achieving an increase in team performance at the end of the season.
