Handbook of Management Scales/Social cohesion

Social cohesion

Description

Social cohesion was measured with two items taken from Zaccaro (1991).

Items

• I generally do not get along with my fellow group members (reverse coded).
• I enjoy belonging to my group because I am friends with many of my group members.

Comments

As only two items were measured, additional items should be added in future studies.
