In the present paper we tested the utility of Team Workload Questionnaire (TWLQ) in a simulated uninhabited vehicle team (dyad) task. Despite extensive workload studies, little research has been conducted on the workload experienced by teams. The TWLQ measures three factors of team workload: Task Workload, Team Workload, and Task-Team Balancing. In the present study we found Task-Team Balancing significantly declined with increasing team experience and appears correlated with team cohesion. The TWLQ may be a useful subjective measure that can be used to assess the workload demand in team tasks. It provides researchers with a tool to advance the understating of team workload and gives practitioners the means to assess the workload demands of team tasks.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
