Psychometric Properties of the Spanish Version of the Teamwork Skills Questionnaire (TSQ)

Abstract

The main objective of the study is to translate and adapt the Teamwork Skills Questionnaire (TSQ) into Spanish, analyze the psychometric properties of this adaptation, and reach evidence of validity (corroborating the original factor structure and its convergent validity), and reliability (internal consistency). The results confirm the factor structure of the original questionnaire composed of 36 items and six factors (adaptability, coordination, decision making, leadership, interpersonal skills and communication) (X2/gl=3.67, CFI=.937, NNFI=.890, RMSEA=.056) and a very high internal consistency (α=.938). The six factors were directly and moderately associated with each other (r between .423 and .733), except between interpersonal skills and leadership (r=.179) that which was low. In conclusion, this study provides new data on a valid and reliable tool to assess teamwork skills.
