Building the team: developing the individual - An evaluation of team building interventions

This study tested the effects of a 2-day team building intervention on team members' team identification, social support and collective self-efficacy. Members (n = 32) of three teams from different sectors completed questionnaires before, directly after and six weeks after the team building intervention. Two teams served as control groups. Results showed lasting positive effects of team building on identification, support and collective self-efficacy in the training groups but no changes in the control groups.
