Abstract
Factor analysis of FERO-B data obtained from new software product teams has led to a reformulation of Schutz's ideas on team compatibility. The concept of Group-Warmth as a derivative of the FERO-B Inclusion and Affection scales was developed and shown to be related to the commercial effectiveness of teams. In a like manner, the FIRO-B constructs of Control-Expressed and Control-Wanted were explored through concurrent factor analysis of 16 PF data. A new interpretation has been given to both FIRO-B Control scales, namely, Assertive-Impulsive.Keywords
