The researchers used the descriptive approach in the survey method and the correlational relations for its suitability to the nature of the research. The research sample was represented by a group of 120 players from the first class handball clubs for the 2019 sports season, representing 9 clubs. The purpose of identifying the research variables, social cohesion and movement and the goal orientation in its two dimensions (performance and outcome), the two researchers used the following research tools: the socio-kinetic cohesion scale, and the goal orientation scale. The results of the research showed a positive relationship between social cohesion and performance and the existence of an inverse relationship between social cohesion and the outcome.
