本研究的目的是开发一种针对工作团队人员配置的选拔测试。有效团队合作的知识、技能和能力(KSA)(Stevens&Campion，1994)被用来开发团队合作情境的纸笔测试。KSA反映了冲突解决、协作解决问题、沟通、目标设定和绩效管理以及规划和任务协调。测试采用了标准的测试结构技术，该测试包含35个关于假设团队合作情境的多项选择题。对纸浆厂(n=70)和纸箱厂(n=72)的生产员工进行了两项验证研究。结果表明，标准相关效度与上级和同事对团队合作和整体工作绩效的评价有关。然而，一个关键的意想不到的发现是与就业能力倾向测试的巨大相关性，这表明团队合作测试具有重要的一般心理能力成分。这项研究对有关情境表现和情境测试的文献也有次要的影响。会议的结论是，审议个别级别的关键工作人员协定在工作组人员配置方面既有概念上的价值，也有实际价值。
The purpose of this research was to develop a selection test for staffing work teams. The knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) for effective teamwork (Stevens & Campion, 1994) were used to develop a paper-and-pencil test of teamwork situations. KSAs reflected conflict resolution, collaborative problem solving, communication, goal setting and performance management, and planning and task coordination. Standard test construction techniques were used, and the test contained 35 multiple-choice items on hypothetical teamwork situations. Two validation studies were conducted involving production employees in a pulp mill (n = 70) and box plant (n = 72). Results showed criterion-related validity with supervisory and peer ratings of teamwork and overall job performance. However, a key unexpected finding was the large correlation with employment aptitude tests, suggesting that the Teamwork Test has a significant general mental ability component. The study also has secondary implications for the literatures on both contextual performance and situational tests. It was concluded that a consideration of individual level KSAs can have both conceptual and practical value in the staffing of work teams.
