Objective: In the present study, we explored the state versus trait aspects of measures of task and team workload in a disaster simulation.
Background: There is often a need to assess workload in both individual and collaborative settings. Researchers in this field often use the NASATask Load Index (NASA-TLX) as a global measure of workload by aggregating the NASA-TLX's component items.
Objective: The purpose of this article is to present and expand on current theories and measurement techniques for assessing team workload.
Background: To date, little research has been conducted on the workload experienced by teams. A validated theory describing team workload, which includes an account of its relation to individual workload, has not been articulated.
