Abstract

94 3-men crews of Israeli male soldiers were studied throughout their performance on routine military activities. Level of cohesiveness was determined through a self-selection sociometric procedure. Command style of tank commanders was assessed with questionnaires. Performance was appraised by unit commanders. Results show only interaction effects of cohesiveness and command style on performance effectiveness. Specifically, performance effectiveness was high in the following combinations: low cohesiveness with command style that emphasizes people orientation and high cohesiveness with emphasis on both task and people orientation.
