This research was concerned with factors that affect group working skills in online and on-site activities.
The objective of this research was to study the relationship between attitude toward working on the project,
leadership, and environment of students who attended the cross-culture engineering project. A descriptive
research design was used. A rating questionnaire was used as the research tool. The statistical tools used to
analyze the data were mean, standard deviation, Pearson correlation coefficient, and the coefficients of the
stepwise multiple regression equation. The activities were classified as online and hybrid. In the online
group, it was found that leadership ( β= 0.491) was associated with group work skill at a statistical
significance of 0.05. For the hybrid group, leadership ( β = 0.572) was at a statistical significance of 0.05
while environment ( β = 0.321) was at a statistical significance of 0.01. The results from this study
acknowledged the factors affecting the group working skill in online activity organizing in the education
sector.
