Collective intelligence in work teams: a new multilevel construct and scale
摘要
The conceptualization and assessment of collective intelligence in work teams are currently gray areas in the scholarly psychological literature. The aim of the present research was thus to provide a multilevel conceptualization of collective intelligence in the workplace, and to develop a new assessment scale. After defining this multidimensional construct, we carried out four studies to create and validate an assessment tool. Results support the second-order structure of the scale and confirm its convergent, predictive, divergent and incremental validities at both individual and team levels. Practical implications and avenues for future research are discussed.
