Abstract: Team reflexivity has been identified as a possible important determinant of team effectiveness. The structure of team reflexivity was explored in China, and the Team Reflexivity Scale (TRS) was developed. After looking up key papers from the cited references, interviews and survey were conducted to obtain items for the TRS. And then, empirical and statistical methods were employed to assess the structure and psychometric properties of the TRS. The exploratory factor analysis shows that team reflexivity contains three dimensions. The three dimension constructs are confirmed by using a confirmatory factor analysis on the confirmation sample with 352 staffs. In both samples, three factors of reflexivity are identified. They are labeled task reflection, process reflection, and action adaptation. And then, the two-level structure of TRS is assessed by means of Multi-level Confirmatory Factor Analysis (MCFA) on all samples, indicating that the three dimension constructs of team reflexivity could be used both at individual and team levels. Statistics from individual and team level shows good psychometric properties for the scale in both studies. It is concluded that the scale forms a valid instrument to assess team reflexivity in high technology firms.

Key words: team reflexivity, team reflection, action adaptation, two-level CFA
