  • The Collective Construction of Work Group Moods

    Open AccessCaroline A Bartel, Richard SaavedraARTICLEAdministrative Science Quarterly2000

To test the hypothesis that work group moods are manifested behaviorally, we developed an observational instrument and compared observers' reports of work group mood with self-reported measures from 70 work groups. As predicted, gro…
