Moreover, the results of Levene test for comparing variances did not show any

significant difference between the variance of two groups. Consequently, the non-
parametric approach (Mann–Whitney’s U-test) was used to compare the means.
The result showed that at 95 per cent significance level, the mean of cooperative

efficiency is bigger than the mean of non-cooperative efficiency (p = 0.072).
