Reflexivity – the extent to which teams reflect upon and modify their functioning - has been identified as an important factor in the effectiveness of work teams. In this article the results of a study among fifty-nine teams from fourteen different organizations are described. The aim was to develop a questionnaire to measure (aspects of) reflexivity. Confirmative factor analyses identified two factors of reflection: Evaluation/learning and discussing processes. Positive relationships between reflexivity and two measures of team performance were found. The implications and possible areas of future research are discussed.
