This study describes the development and validity testing of a field measure of transactive memory systems. Transactive memory systems are especially important for teams designed to leverage members' expertise, but field research has lagged because there are no adequate measures of the construct. The author developed and tested a 15-item scale in a laboratory sample of 124 teams, a field sample of 64 Master of Business Administration consulting teams, and a field sample of 27 teams from technology companies. Results from the present study demonstrate that the scale is internally consistent, related to alternative measures and hypothesized causes and effects, and unrelated to theoretically distinct constructs, providing evidence of convergent, criterion-related, and discriminant validity. Suggestions for improving the scale, future validity testing, and possible boundary conditions are discussed.
本研究描述了一种交互记忆系统现场测量方法的开发与效度检验。交互记忆系统对于旨在利用成员专业知识的团队尤为重要，但现场研究一直滞后，因为尚无对该构念的充分测量方法。作者在一个由124个团队组成的实验室样本、一个由64个工商管理硕士咨询团队组成的现场样本以及一个由27个科技公司团队组成的现场样本中，开发并测试了一个包含15个条目的量表。本研究结果表明，该量表具有内部一致性，与替代测量方法以及假设的因果关系相关，且与理论上不同的构念无关，提供了聚合效度、效标关联效度和区分效度的证据。文中还讨论了改进该量表的建议、未来的效度检验以及可能的边界条件。
