Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Martina is trying to foster a sense of collective efficacy among her team. Collective efficacy refers to a team's shared belief in its ability to achieve its goals and perform tasks successfully. By creating situations for information sharing and collaboration, Martina is helping to build the team's confidence in its abilities and capacity to work together effectively. Cohesion refers to the degree of unity or closeness within a group, entitativity refers to the degree to which a group is perceived as a distinct and coherent entity, and self-efficacy refers to an individual's belief in their own ability to achieve a certain goal or perform a certain task. While these concepts are related, they are not the most accurate choice for the situation described.
