| Sumario: | A study was conducted to examine the relationship between team performance and a measure of team members' mutual preference for working together, or density. Data were drawn from 129 members in 29 squads at a military college who completed a survey assessing their team's density and levels of perceived satisfaction and cohesion among team members. Results provided no support for the hypothesis that high-density teams would score higher on measures of cohesiveness. However, in addition to scoring higher on the satisfaction subscale of the questionnaire, high-density teams performed better across a combination of several other criterion measures. A discussion on the implications of these findings for future research and for applied uses in organizations is provided. |
