Summary/Abstract: Collective efficacy of a team is an aspect of group dynamics which can be very important for the team’s performance since it shows how the team works as a unit and how much each member believes in the team’s capacities to organize and carry out actions so as to reach a goal. The following study is an analysis of the construct of collective efficacy in sports situations and its correlation with another important construct in sport psychology – the quality of coach-athlete relationship viewed from the perspective of an athlete. Self-perception and meta-perception of the coach-athlete relationship from the athlete’s point of view is measured by means of the athlete version of the CART-Q (The Coach- Athlete Relationship Questionnaire, Jowett & Ntoumanis, 2004), whereas belief in collective efficacy of the team is measured by the CEQ (Collective Efficacy Questionnaire, Feltz & Rigg, 1998). The sample comprises 136 athletes from the age of 14 to 38, who are members of Serbia’s top nine teams.
