===Enhancing teamwork===
One way organizational psychologists measure teamwork is through the Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities (KSA) Teamwork Test.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Stevens|first1=Michael|last2=Campion|first2=Michael|year=1994|title=The Knowledge, Skill, and Ability Requirements for Teamwork: Implications of Human Resource Management|journal=Journal of Management|volume=20|issue=2|pages=503–530|doi=10.1177/014920639402000210|s2cid=220584820}}</ref> This test was developed by Michael Stevens and Michael Campion in 1994. It assesses people who want to join a team by measuring 14 KSA requirements for teamwork, especially within formal teams. The test has two main categories: Interpersonal KSAs that contain items such as Conflict Resolution and Communication, and Self-Management KSAs that include items such as Goal Setting and Task Coordination.

Teamwork can be enhanced through team development interventions (TDIs) such as leadership training, team training, team debriefing, and team building.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Lacerenza |first1=Christina N. |last2=Marlow |first2=Shannon L. |last3=Tannenbaum |first3=Scott I. |last4=Salas |first4=Eduardo |date=2018 |title=Team development interventions: Evidence-based approaches for improving teamwork. |journal=American Psychologist |language=en |volume=73 |issue=4 |pages=517–531 |doi=10.1037/amp0000295 |pmid=29792465 |issn=1935-990X|doi-access=free |bibcode=2018AmPsy..73..517L }}</ref> These TDIs improve communication, coordination, cooperation, and conflict management within teams.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Salas |first1=Eduardo |last2=Shuffler |first2=Marissa L. |last3=Thayer |first3=Amanda L. |last4=Bedwell |first4=Wendy L. |last5=Lazzara |first5=Elizabeth H. |date=2015 |title=Understanding and Improving Teamwork in Organizations: A Scientifically Based Practical Guide |url=https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/hrm.21628 |journal=Human Resource Management |language=en |volume=54 |issue=4 |pages=599–622 |doi=10.1002/hrm.21628 |issn=0090-4848|url-access=subscription }}</ref> Promoting a sense of community among the team members through efforts such as group events also contributes to the enhancement of teamwork.<ref name=":2">{{Cite journal |last1=Gratton |first1=Lynda |last2=Erickson |first2=Tamara J |date=2007-11-01 |title=8 ways to build collaborative teams |url=https://europepmc.org/article/med/18159790 |journal=Harvard Business Review |volume=85 |issue=11 |pages=100–9, 153 |issn=0017-8012 |pmid=18159790}}</ref>
