ABSTRACT
This study investigated the effects of punishment threats and
rewards on individual performance and group performance of
social loafing. Forty students (20 male and 20 females) of Kings’
and Queens’ Comprehensive High School Enugu with a mean age
of 14.26 years participated in the study. The materials used were
3200 paper tiles (with a package of 160 paper tiles distributed to
each participant). Social loafing was measured and scored
according to the number of tiles a participant was unable to fix out
of the package of tiles given to him or her; the higher the score
the more the loafing. The data were subjected to MANOVA and
results indicated a significant main effect of punishment threat on
group performance and rewards on both individual and group
performance task. There was no significant interaction effect of
punishment threat and reward on social loafing (individual and
group performance). The implications of the findings were
discussed and suggestions for further studies made.
