ABSTRACT

This article describes the development and validation of a theory-based measure of team development. Drawing on 3 independent samples, including multisource and 2-wave data, we found support for the scale’s theoretical multidimensionality. Convergent and discriminant validity was established, and criterion-related validity was determined through the scale’s relation with 3 facets of team effectiveness: viability, extrarole performance, and reputation. We conclude that the 29-item measure is valid and reliable for the assessment of team development. Theoretically, we shed light on the dimensionality of team development and extend the available knowledge on its nomological network. Practical implications for enhancing team effectiveness via team development are discussed.

摘要

本文介绍了一种基于理论的团队发展测度的开发和验证。利用3个独立样本，包括多源和2波数据，我们发现该秤的理论多维性得到了支持。建立了收敛效度和判别效度，并通过量表与团队效能的三个方面的关系来确定与准则相关的效度：生存力，绩效表现和声誉。我们得出结论，该29项指标对于评估团队发展是有效和可靠的。从理论上讲，我们阐明了团队发展的维度，并扩展了其法理网络的可用知识。讨论了通过团队发展提高团队效率的实际含义。
