The effects of performance and team cohesion on attribution: A longitudinal simulation

Article Abstract:

The effects of team cohesion and relative firm performance on attributions are examined using 81 teams of undergraduate seniors that managed mock firms within a complex strategic management simulation for 11 weeks. Superior firm performance was attributed to the team, whereas inferior firm performance was attributed to external factors and it was found that team cohesion was positively associated with internal attributions, regardless of relative firm performance.
