Abstract
Teamwork plays an important role in achieving a team’s performance objectives. When demonstrating teamwork, team communication becomes a key component. This study examined the correlation between impressions of team communication and superior's evaluation score for performance. The impressions of team communication was measured using the Team Communication Interface questionnaire (TCIQ). The subjects of this study were 92 people from corporation A who came from a total of 15 departments. The values of the Pearson correlation coefficient between each department’s average value of the five interfaces of TCIQ (including the entire TCIQ score) and each department’s average value of the superior’s evaluation score for performance were: Mission Recognition .478, Information Transmission .237, Schedule Management .453, Evaluation Awareness .366, entire TCIQ .411. All the values showed significant positive correlations, which suggest that impressions of team communication affect the degree to which a team achieves their objectives. The TCIQ can be applied to organizational improvements aimed at achieving performance objectives.
