Since its origins to the relative explosion of team research in applied psychology and organizational behavior, several advances in the methods used to study team dynamics appeared (Mathieu et al., 2018). A paradigm capable of capturing the complex, dynamic nature of teamwork new research paradigm is required to move forward our understanding (Mathieu et al., 2008). Since individuals work in teams, the social dynamics are at play, creating emergent properties that interrelate with team processes impacting on team performance (Waller et al., 2016). One data point or simple measurement is not enough to capture such a complex process (Humphrey & Aime, 2014). Complex processes demand complex research methods (Boist & McKelvey, 2011). Team research cannot continue to disregard such complexities, risking its growth and future advancements. Validity assessment of team-level instruments is mostly performed using procedures designed for individual-level measures. However, the study of team-level instruments should include the possible inequality in the within- and between-level structure and should also consider information about scale items ability to differentiate groups (Bliese et al., 2019). We based our application in the most recent proposals related to multilevel theory, measurement, and validation. The first goal is to validate multilevel constructs, i.e., constructs that emerge from the interactions between individuals but that exist at both levels (individual and team). The second goal concerns the assessment and validation of emergent team constructs, which can be different in their nature (Mathieu & Luciano, 2019) and also in their measurement (Jebb et al., 2019). The last goal is to evaluate the longitudinal validity of dynamic team constructs (Luciano et al., 2018). This proposal clear contributes to advance team-level construct validation by integrating different approaches, implemented with top international collaboration and using advanced statistical methods.
