Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the influence of team building training to increase cohesiveness in Psychology students at Mulawarman University.

Theoretical framework: Cohesiveness is one part that can increase the sense of attachment between individuals as members and the team and organization that oversees them. Team building training is carried out so that members of student organizations can have an interest in wanting to continue to be with the organization in achieving common goals as a whole team

Design/methodology/approach: The research design used was a pre-test and post-test on 20 students divided into 10 experimental groups and 10 control groups. Cohesiveness scale adapted by researchers from Data analysis using Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney U Test using SPSS 26 Software for Windows.

Findings: The results of the analysis used the Wilcoxon test which compared the cohesiveness scores in the experimental group before and after training showed a value of Z = -2.810, = p 0.005 (p < 0.05) meaning that there was a difference in the cohesiveness scores before and after being given the team building training treatment, so that there was an increase in cohesiveness significantly after giving the team building training treatment. The results of the analysis using the Mann-Whitney U Test showed a value of Z = -1.288, p = 0.198 (p > 0.05) meaning that there was no difference in the level of cohesiveness between the experimental group that was given the team building treatment and the control group that was not given the team building training treatment.

Research, Practical & Social implications: The study is useful for organizational activities are also expected to continue to make their best contribution to the organization and the wider community.

Originality/value: The value of the study based on the analytical data discussed in the previous sub-chapter, it can be concluded that team building training is able to provide changes and increase cohesiveness in organizational students. That is, if training is given to students of the organization regularly and followed by consistent supervision and evaluation, then cohesiveness in the student organization can increase.
