Cohesion enhances positive workplace outcomes, including job satisfaction, team performance, and productivity. Despite the importance of cohesion, definitions, factors, and measures of cohesion are used inconsistently. For example, the contribution of both task and social cohesion has been highlighted in previous research but ignored by other researchers in cohesion. This exploratory study examined the components of cohesion using a repertory grid technique and weighted multidimensional scaling. Twenty-six participants were interviewed. Findings supported cohesion being a multidimensional construct with 6 cohesion dimensions, comprising 1 task and 5 social elements, thereby revealing some areas of overlap with previous research. There was no support for group verses individual components of cohesion. Further research is required to develop instruments to measure the 6 cohesion components. Factor analytic studies could then confirm the factor structure of cohesion.

使用剧目网格技术确定凝聚力的组成部分。

凝聚力增强了积极的工作场所成果，包括工作满意度、团队绩效和生产力。尽管凝聚力很重要，但凝聚力的定义、因素和衡量标准的使用却不一致。例如，任务和社会凝聚力的贡献在先前的研究中已经被强调，但被其他凝聚力研究人员忽略了。这项探索性研究使用剧目网格技术和加权多维标度检查了凝聚力的组成部分。26 名参与者接受了采访。研究结果支持凝聚力是一个多维结构，具有 6 个凝聚力维度，包括 1 个任务和 5 个社会元素，从而揭示了与先前研究重叠的一些领域。不支持集体与凝聚力的个别组成部分。需要进一步研究以开发测量 6 个内聚力分量的仪器。然后因子分析研究可以确认凝聚力的因子结构。
