摘要

Background

Effective peer-leadership is paramount to team functioning, as peer-leaders help to facilitate the development of various team processes.

Aims

In the present study we examined the influence of social-leadership and task-leadership on cohesion and collective efficacy.

Methods

We adhered to the PRISMA guidelines and searched for relevant papers across six databases. A total of 168 papers were screened.

Results

Seven studies, representing 3548 participants and ten different sports, met our inclusion criteria. Our analysis revealed a statistically significant relationship between task-leadership and social cohesion (r = .26, p < .01), social-leadership and social cohesion (r = .23, p = .01), task-leadership and collective efficacy (r = .21, p < .01), and social-leadership and task cohesion (r = .23, p = .04).

Conclusions

These results suggest that developing task-leaders will help foster social cohesion and collective efficacy, and that social-leaders positively influence teammates’ feelings of cohesion and collective efficacy beliefs. Therefore, practitioners should develop peer-leadership programs that equip athletes with both task and social-leadership skills.
