Team assessment utilizing a many-facet Rasch model.

As organizations begin to implement work teams, their assessment will ultimately reflect compensation strategies that move away from individual assessment. This will involve not only using multiple raters, but also the use of multiple criteria. Team assessment using multiple raters and multiple criteria is therefore necessitated; however, this can produce differences in ratings due to the leniency or severity of the individual team raters. This study analyzed the ratings of individual members on 31 different teams across 12 different criteria of team performance. Utilizing the many-facet Rasch model, statistical differences between the teams and 12 criteria were calculated.
