Abstract

In this study, we try to discover the natural psychological dynamics in a cooperative work team. We have selected a group of individuals that can help us to explore the psychological processes when working in a team. A new tool is used which has been developed from the most relevant conceptual frameworks existing at the moment, the Cooperative Workteams Questionnaire, (CWQ). In this paper, we present the psychometric characteristics and impact encountered by the conceptual framework. We also present an analysis of the results obtained from applying this framework.
