Abstract
In this study, we developed a scale for assessing interactions between team
members and team building activities in the workplace. In Study 1, a questionnaire
was administered to employees (N =797) working in private organizations.
The scale consisted of 35 items that included items developed in previous
studies and new items. The results of a factor analysis indicated a scale
consisting of 19 items and four factors: “Friendly-Interactions,” “Ritualistic-
Interactions,” “Harmonious-Interactions,” and “Accommodative-Interactions.”
Moreover, the results revealed the reliability and convergent validity as well
as criterion-related validity of the factors. In Study 2, confirmatory factor
analysis was conducted with employees (N =399) working in private organizations.
The results indicated good fit indices of the four-factor model. The
reliability and convergent validity, as well as criterion-related validity of the
factors, were confirmed.
