The article presents descriptive statistics of four communication aspects from a large sample of work teams: the current and desired frequency of communication, as well as its importance and quality. The data was obtained during team Sociomapping, in which members of the team rated the mutual communication using the four scales.
The analysis shows that the average importance and current and desired frequency of communication decrease with team size, while the quality does not. Furthermore, it has shown that teams usually express the desire to communicate more often than they actually do.
The results of the principal component analysis are also presented and it is argued that while two components explain almost 90% of variance, it is still important to track all four aspects of communication for the purpose of team development
