This study used the MLQ (Form-5x short) questionnaire to measure transformational and transactional leadership styles, perception of leadership effectiveness, and member satisfaction with leader the ten item Classroom Cohesion Questionnaire to measure levels of perceived group cohesion and the five item Group Satisfaction Questionnaire to measure levels of satisfaction with the group. This quantitative study, using small, fast forming, short-duration teams, examined the relationship between leadership behaviors and level of group cohesion and team dynamics including follower’s level of extra effort, level of satisfaction, and perception of leadership effectiveness among 85 university administration and faculty members that performed onsite evaluations on behalf of an accrediting body (ACBSP) as part of the accreditation process. These teams include committees, task forces, and project or problem-solving teams. Other team models, designed to respond to immediate, specific needs of the organization, have different team characteristics in that they are often small in size, are fast forming, and are short-duration in their life span.

Some teams reflect traditional team-structure models as reflected in functional work-unit teams that help to provide the ongoing, day-to-day work of the organization. Organizations use many variants of teams in their pursuit of achieving organizational goals.
