Attitudes toward Work in Project Groups as Predictors of Academic Performance

Kimberly A. Freeman

Wake Forest University

The use of groups has become an integral part of management education as a mechanism to help students learn through interaction with others as well as to become accustomed to working in a group environment that emulates the work place. The present study examined the amountof time spentworkingas a group and individuals 'attitudes toward work ingroups, and how these may affect academic performance. Both the time involved in group work and attitudes toward group work explained significant amounts of variance in grade point average (GPA) beyond that due to background variables such as previous grade point average, standardized test scores, and work experience. Exploratory analyses using aggregate group GPA measure revealed differences in attitudes toward group work between high-performing and low-performing groups, with time involved in group work as the main predictor of group GPA.
