Although coaches and players recognize the importance of leaders within the team, research on athlete leadership is sparse. The present study expands knowledge of athlete leadership by refining the current classification and exploring the importance of the team captain. An on-line survey was completed by 4451 players and coaches within nine different team sports in Flanders (Belgium). The results revealed that the proposed additional role of motivational leader was perceived as clearly distinct from the already established roles (task, perceive their captain as the principal leader on any of the four roles. These findings underline that the leadership qualities attributed to the captain as the team‟s formal leader are overrated. It can be concluded that leadership is spread throughout the team; the social, and external leader). Furthermore, almost half of the participants (44%) did not informal leaders rather than the captain take the lead, both on and off the field.

Insight Into

The purpose of this study was to explain the process of how a sport team could induce consumers to engage in proenvironmental behavior. Building on Kelman’s (1958, 1961, 2006) internalization perspective, this study demonstrated that positive environmental practices by a team increased consumer internalization of the team’s values. In turn, this increased internalization mediated the relationship between environmental practices and proenvironmental behavior measured by two behavioral intentions: intention to support the team’s environmental initiative and intention to engage in proenvironmental behavior in daily life. The results of this study contribute to the literature by highlighting the significant role of internalization. This research further provides a significant insight into the social impacts of sport organizations.

This research examines adults’ reported motivations for listening to music that they enjoy ironically using Thematic Analysis. Based on the pilot study ( N = 96), ironically-enjoyed music was defined as “Music that is enjoyed because of being bad, despite being bad, or for different reasons than intended.” Many relevant self-regulatory functions of listening to music in general were relevant to ironically-enjoyed music in the main study ( N = 175). Ironic enjoyment of music also has unique characteristics: the additional role of mocking, ridiculing, and laughing at the music, and the social benefit that this provides. Music that was listened to “because of” its negative features had a variety of musical features, and the listening usually served functions unique to ironic enjoyment of music. When music was listened to “despite” negative qualities, the music itself was often described as having attractive rhythm, melody or lyrics, while the irony protected the listener from conflicting values associated with the music, helping the listener communicate to others that they did not identify with the music on a higher level. Unfamiliar music mainly played a social role, whereas familiar music related to nostalgia as well as most other functions.

And Performance

In the field of emotion–performance relationship in achievement situations, the social dimensions of emotions have been understudied. Thus, recent advances highlighted the need to explore identity processes to know whether group belonging may influence individuals’ emotions and performance when they are involved in a task-group. The current study introduced an innovative approach to continuously capture the variability of emotions (pleasant and unpleasant), identity levels (personal and social) and performances (individual and collective) experienced during volleyball games. Six elite players ( M = 20.14 years; SD = 1.25) volunteered to participate in this research. For the purpose of this study, a program based on the Mouse Paradigm methodological approach was elaborated. A total of 9461 momentary assessments ( M = 1576.83 ± 94.38 per participant) was gathered for each of the aforementioned variables. Results of hierarchical linear modeling analyses showed a partial independence between social and personal identity, as well as an effect of identity levels on unpleasant emotions. Results also highlighted that neither identity levels nor emotions influenced individual performances. Taken together, these results were discussed in terms of theoretical and methodological advances that allow to deepen the understanding of emotions–performance relationships in the context of team-sports.

This article explores the role of symbolic score data in the authors' mobile music-making applications, as well as the social sharing and community-based content creation workflows currently in use on their on-line musical network. Web-based notation systems are discussed alongside in-app visual scoring methodologies for the display of pitch, timing and duration data for instrumental and vocal performance. User-generated content and community-driven ecosystems are considered alongside the role of cloud-based services for audio rendering and streaming of performance data.

This case is appropriate for an introductory financial analysis course, intermediate case study in financial analysis, or any course that is preparing students to take the CFA exam. Because of the policy analysis that is included, it could also be used in a public finance class or an intermediate microeconomics course. It provides a basis for developing an understanding of how Social Security benefits are calculated. The specific focus of the case is on the Windfall Elimination Provision and the calculations which must be made to re-estimate benefits for those who are affected by this provision. The student plays the role of financial advisor. When advising a client about the stream of income which can be anticipated in retirement, it is vitally important to realize that, if the client has worked both as a government employee and in the private sector, the benefits the client will receive from Social Security may be less than what is indicated in the annual Social Security Statement. The policy implications section of the case also points out some of the surprising affects resulting from the structure of the Windfall Elimination Provision. The questions at the end of the case test the students understanding of the complexities of the system. Depending on the instructors guidance, students can familiarize themselves with the on-line calculators developed by the Social Security Administration.

Based on  the two tests above between the Uji t and Uji F test and the direct test, it can be concluded  that the rules of the leadership do not have a significant impact on the performance of  teachers for that the schools, management and education offices focus on competency of  teacher on conduct class on line or PJJ. Based on the result for adjusted R square can be explained  at 51,7% is influenced by the four variables (Leadership, Competency, Training, Facility and  Technology) to teacher performance, the other 48.3% is the contribution of other variables  not included in this research. According to results testing in this research training, facility and  technology significantly impact on teacher performance in PJJ class, which means governance  and school management, provide some course training to increase teacher performance.

Abstract. This contribution consists of a critical review of the literature about the articulation of two traditionally separated theoretical fields: social representations and commitment. Besides consulting various works and communications, a bibliographic search was carried out (between February and December, 2016) on various databases using the keywords “commitment” and “social representation,” in the singular and in the plural, in French and in English. Articles published in English or in French, that explicitly made reference to both terms, were included. The relations between commitment and social representations are approached according to two approaches or complementary lines. The first line follows the role of commitment in the representational dynamics: how can commitment transform the representations? This articulation gathers most of the work on the topic. The second line envisages the social representations as determinants of commitment procedures: how can these representations influence the effects of commitment procedures? This literature review will identify unexploited tracks, as well as research perspectives for both areas of research.
