这项研究表明，来自小组成员的社会支持是小组中额外努力和表现的独特触发因素。与没有社会支持和个人工作的群体相比，支持引起的努力收益。研究1探讨了现有的信念，激励员工之间的专业小组工作经验（n = 130）的小组工作。结果显示，社会支持作为一个最常见的报告来源的群体诱导的努力收益。研究2探讨了自我报告的努力意图，在团体训练的情况下，运动员（n = 94）。最后，研究3检查性能的努力，在一个实验性的持久性任务的学生（n = 88）的一个明显的指标。研究2和研究3的结果表明，由于社会支持的自我报告的努力和表现的表现，分别显着收益。总之，结果表明，从同伴群体成员的社会支持导致更高的努力，在现有的信念水平上激励小组工作，在努力的意图，并在一级的表现行为的水平。观察到的结果不能解释的动机收益的群体，如社会比较或社会不可或缺的既定来源。版权所有© 2014约翰威利父子有限公司.
This research demonstrates social support from fellow group members as unique trigger of additional effort and performance in groups. Support-induced effort gains are shown both compared with groups without social support and individual work. Study 1 examined existing beliefs about motivating group work among employees with professional group work experience (n = 130). The results revealed social support as one of the most frequently reported sources of group-induced effort gains. Study 2 explored self-reported effort intentions in group training scenarios among athletes (n = 94). Finally, Study 3 examined performance as a manifest indicator of effort in an experimental persistence task among students (n = 88). The results of Study 2 and Study 3 showed significant gains due to social support in both self-reported effort and manifest performance, respectively. Together, the results demonstrate that receiving social support from fellow group members leads to higher effort in groups at the level of existing beliefs about motivating group work, at the level of effort intentions, and at the level of manifest performance behavior. The observed findings cannot be explained by established sources of motivation gains in groups such as social comparison or social indispensability. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
