The Relationship between Eliminating Stressors, Developing Resiliency, Short-Term Coping Skills, and Team Development Behaviors

Abstract

This research examined relationships between stress and teams. The sample consisted of females (n = 98) and males (n = 103) with experiences in team leader and member roles. The results revealed that 26 – 35-year-olds scored higher on eliminating stressors (p = 0.043*). Those who were unmarried, but in a relationship scored higher in developing resiliency skills (p = 0.031*). Those without children scored lower on being able to lead a team (p = 0.005**) and being an effective team member (p = 0.016*). All stress management skills were significantly related to being able to diagnose and facilitate team development.
