Abstract
This study examined the factor structure and psychometric properties of the 38-item Team Climate Inventory and the 14-item short version using a sample of 72 four-person teams of management undergraduates in a Canadian university. The confirmatory factor analyses supported the five-factor correlated model that questions the validity of the original four-factor model. The confirmatory factor analyses also supported the short version. Team Climate Inventory scale and subscale scores showed no significant differences when the Team Climate Inventory was administered at two times, separated by 9 weeks, during the team projects. The Team Climate Inventory shows promise as a multidimensional measure of the team climate construct in both student and employee teams. Finally, the short version provides a useful measure when administration time is limited.
