"This research uses the construct of group development (GD) to distinguish highly developed workgroups and teams from mere social a g- gregates. The aims were to develop a scale capable of measuring this basic emergent process and to study the scale’ s reliability and construct validity (content, factorial, convergent and criteria). Data concerning the GD, ot h- er related processes ( entitativity and group identification) and team outputs (group performance and team effectiveness) were gathered from four su c- cessive studies (4099 participants belonging to 521 workgroups in 13 o r- ganizations). All the studies were carried out using a cross - sectional and correlational design. The results revealed an one - dimensional solution for the proposed measurement scale, which showed adequate reliability and v a lidity. The scale is not only practical (quick and easy to apply) but also useful for group managers and leaders, since it provides them with a tool for determining the extent to which their groups are actually funct ioning as highly developed groups."
