To calculate the 100pt scale score (e.g., teamwork climate) for an individual respondent:
- Reverse score all negatively worded items - see table below for list of reverse scored items
- Calculate the mean of the set of items from the scale
- Subtract 1 from the mean
- Multiply the result by 25
The equation looks like this:
Teamwork Climate Scale Score for a Respondent = (((Mean of the teamwork items)-1)*25)
In order to calculate the percent of resondents who are positive (i.e., percent agreement), you would look at the percent of respondents who got a scale score of 75 or higher. A score of 75 on the scale score indicates the same thing as "agree slightly" on the original 5 point Likert scale:
- 1 = Disagree Strongly
- 2 = Disagree Slightly
- 3 = Neutral
- 4 = Agree Slightly
- 5 = Agree Strongly
With the conversion to the 100 point scale:
- 1 = 0
- 2 = 25
- 3 = 50
- 4 = 75
- 5 = 100
