Business for students’ viewpoints: What makes fruitful gathering execution

RESEARCH

This study employed quantitative and qualitative approach. Quantitative approach is used to find the factor connected to the successful group performance, and qualitative approach is use when gathering data for pilot testing. Sixteenth students are consented to participate in the interview, and in-depth interviews conducted with those 16 students are recorded and transcribed in gathering more information from the business students on their perspectives about successful group performance. The number of people that were interviewed is based on the saturation of information gathered. There was no other new information given by the fifteenth and sixteenth person. 45 items are gathered during interviewed and some other literature studies. After constructed the 45 items then continue with the test of reliability and validity of the items to 60 students, resulted 24 items. 21 items were removed due to low quality of item-remainder coefficient less 0.6 [30]. The valid questionnaire with 24 items was then distributed to respondents using google form. There spondent of this study are undergraduate business students of Unversitas Klabat. Business students at Universitas Klabat are coming from different part of Indonesia. Indonesia is a multicultural nation, meaning the students in Univeristas Klabat came from different cultures of Indonesia. Purposive sampling method was used in selecting respondents. The respondents were selected based on the criteria of the subject that they are taking in that semester, which required more groupwork activities. Those subjects are strategic management and planning, financial management and policy, and introduction to entrepreneurship subject. Those subjects were taken by 3rd dan 4th years business students. There are 361 business students of Universitas Klabat participated in this study, but not all participant responded each question consistently. Six respondents were removed from the data and 355 data respondents were used in analysis. To answer the first research question, we examine the value of Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) test of sampling adequacy which recommended value > 0.5 as acceptable value, and Bartlett’s test of sphericity with p < 0.05 to check whether the factor analys is appropriate for the data [31]. Next research question is to represent the variance, in answering the second research question; we use the unique variance method where

the percentage variance represents how much the contribution of each factor to the total variance. This study employed quantitative and qualitative approach.

In answering the research questions of “what factors contributes to the successful group performance?” and “which factors are accounts of the most variance to the successful group performance?”An exploratory factor analysis was performed using SPSS. The result shows that the value of KMO is .914 which is greater than 0.5 and Bartlett’s test of sphericity p = 0.000 means the dataset is suitable for factor 

analysis. To interpret factor analysis, first, we look only at the factor that is meaningful for interpretation and analysis from the rotated eigenvalues and scree-plot. Rotated eigenvalue and scree-plot help us to determine the number of factors that are significant to retain. Next, we check the extracted communalities to measure the internal consistency of those factors using Cornbach’s Alpha. Then, we continue with the varimax rotation suppressing the factor loading to the small coefficient, to see whether the factor loading in each factor is desirable for interpretation and to continue in naming those factor. To give names to the factors we look at the variables within the factors that are the best representation of those factors. For unique variance in factor analysis, we see form the percentage of variance after varimax rotation that tells how much each factor contributed to the total variance.

represent the variance, in answering the second research question; we use the unique variance method where 

the percentage variance represents how much the contribution of each factor to the total variance.
