The TDI-s (short version, 10 items, modified Likert-type scales) is
simple to administer, code and analyse. Its original authors
(Kormanski and Mozenter, 1984) claim it identifies the stage of group
development a "team" is in when data are examined in aggregate form. I
never found it to have such predictive value, but the authors
established these minor trustworthiness measures:
established face validity and equivalent reliability of 0.95
Kormanski, C. L. & Mozenter, A. (1984). A New Model of
Team Building: A Technology for Today and Tomorrow. In J. W.
Pfeiffer (Ed.) The 1984 annual: Developing Human Resources.
San Diego, CA: University Associates.
Since the instrument is in the public domain, there is no cost
associated with its use. Jim Bronson <<[log in to unmask]> can be
