This brief self-report measure is designed to screen perceptions of social and interpersonal climate within a work group. The Express Assessment of Work Group Climate is intended to capture members’ overall sense of cohesion, support, trust, and tension as experienced in day-to-day collaboration.
It consists of 9 items and typically requires about 2 minutes to complete. As described by Rensis Likert and Kurt Lewin, the instrument is most appropriately administered to multiple members of the same team so that responses can be summarized at the group level rather than interpreted as an individual diagnostic result.
Scores are commonly used as a rapid indicator of team climate to inform follow-up assessment, consultation, or organizational interventions. The Express Assessment of Work Group Climate can support identification of areas of relative strength or concern in group functioning and guide next-step planning.
