Abstract
This study explores the relationship
between certain task characteristics
and group effectiveness
variables. The task characteristic
variables were autonomy,
skill variety, task structure, task
identity, problem demands in
terms of time, task difficulty, work
schedule, quality assurance, performance
rating and task significance.
Group effectiveness was
conceptualized in terms of group
cohesiveness, group goal accomplishment,
group growth level and
special recognition. Factor
analysis and canonical correlations
were sought to answer the
research questions. Factor-analysis
results revealed the underlying
dimensions of the variables
under study. Canonical correlations
revealed that a positive significant
relationship existed between
the two sets of variables.
