Abstract

Developing a measurement of grateful climate is an essential step to examining the function of a grateful climate in a team or group context. Accordingly, the purpose of this study was to develop a valid and reliable measure of the grateful climate of sports teams. We defined the grateful climate of sports teams as a culturally shaped perception that team members collectively exhibit values, beliefs and expected behaviors that fit with the script of gratitude. Exploratory factor analysis and multilevel confirmatory factor analysis were conducted to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Sports Team Grateful Climate Questionnaire. In addition, nomological validity and incremental validity were also examined. The results indicated that the 9-item Sports Team Grateful Climate Questionnaire has good convergent validity, nomological validity, and incremental validity. We concluded that it can be a useful tool for future studies aiming to better understand grateful climate in sports teams.
