This work examines the relationships among cohesion and self-efficacy, collective efficacy, perceived
efficacy by peers and coaches, expectations of success and collective performance. The sample was made up of 61
participants belonging to 6 league basketball teams. Different instruments were used to assess cohesion, perceived efficacy
and expectations of success. Performance was measured by their final classifications. The results showed a positive
relationship between perceived efficacy and the four factors of cohesion, both as regards social and task aspects.
Furthermore, players who perceived a higher level of cohesion were associated with participants who perceived higher
expectations of success and performed better.
