Cohesiveness scale adapted by researchers from Data analysis using Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney U Test using SPSS 26 Software for Windows.
Findings: The results of the analysis used the Wilcoxon test which compared the cohesiveness scores in the experimental group before and after training showed a value of Z = -2.810, = p 0.005 (p < 0.05) meaning that there was a difference in the cohesiveness scores before and after being given the team building training treatment, so that there was an increase in cohesiveness significantly after giving the team building training treatment. The results of the analysis using the Mann-Whitney U Test showed a value of Z = -1.288, p = 0.198 (p > 0.05) meaning that there was no difference in the level of cohesiveness between the experimental group that was given the team building treatment and the control group that was not given the team building training treatment.
