Abstract
This paper proposes a comprehensive framework for evaluating teamwork in both sports teams and corporate environments, highlighting the psychological factors that contribute to team effectiveness. By synthesizing insights from sports psychology and organizational behavior, we identify eight key factors: planning, communication, cohesion, motivation, emotional control, momentum, leadership, and recovery. Each factor is analyzed in terms of its impact on team dynamics and performance outcomes. The framework is designed to address existing limitations in team evaluations, including subjectivity in assessments and the need for situational specificity. Additionally, we emphasize the importance of adapting the framework to diverse team settings and monitoring team dynamics over time. By integrating regular psychological assessments with performance indicators, this framework aims to enhance team cohesion, goal alignment, and overall effectiveness, providing valuable insights for coaches, managers, and organizational leaders. The findings underscore the necessity for a structured approach to teamwork evaluation, particularly in the context of increasingly multicultural and virtual team environments.
