本文报告了团队气候量表（TCI）的发展和心理计量学验证，该量表用于测量工作中团队创新的特定因素气候。首先简要回顾了组织氛围和工作组创新文献，并提出了在最近工作组层面测量特定因素氛围的必要性。本文描述了从这些综述中衍生出来的面向特定创新气候的四因素理论，并描述了将该模型应用于原始版本测量的过程。数据证明了潜在的因素结构，内部同质性，预测效度和跨群体的因素可复制性的总结措施。来自27家医院管理团队的155人的初始样本为该措施的探索性因素分析提供了数据。来自四个职业（35个初级卫生保健团队、42个社会服务团队、20个精神病学团队和24个石油公司团队；总N = 971）的121个其他小组的回复用于应用验证性因素分析技术。这五个因素，38个项目的总结版本显示出强大的心理测量特性，具有可接受的信度和效度水平。描述了这一测量的潜在应用，并讨论了这些发现对近端工作组气候测量的含义。(C) 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
This paper reports the development and psychometric validation of a multi-dimensional measure of facet-specific climate for innovation within groups at work: the Team Climate Inventory (TCI). Brief reviews of the organizational climate and work group innovation literatures are presented initially, and the need for measures of facet-specific climate at the level of the proximal work group asserted. The four-factor theory of facet-specific climate for innovation, which was derived from these reviews, is described, and the procedures used to operationalize this model into the original version measure described. Data attesting to underlying factor structure, internal homogeneity, predictive validity and factor replicability across groups of the summarized measure are presented. An initial sample of 155 individuals from 27 hospital management teams provided data for the exploratory factor analysis of this measure. Responses from 121 further groups in four occupations (35 primary health care teams, 42 social services teams, 20 psychiatric teams and 24 oil company teams; total N = 971) were used to apply confirmatory factor analysis techniques. This five-factor, 38-item summarized version demonstrates robust psychometric properties, with acceptable levels of reliability and validity. potential applications of this measure are described and the implication of these findings for the measurement of proximal work group climate are discussed.
