This study aims to conceptualize ‘focus towards innovation’ as a team-level construct and develop a theoretically grounded and empirically robust mechanism to measure it within organizational settings. A rigorous multi-method design was used to develop and validate the team focus towards innovation (TFI) scale. Factor analysis on the analysis sample (n1 = 256) and validation sample (n2 = 216) were used to identify and validate the three-factorial structure of the TFI construct with sub-dimensions – inner focus, other focus, and outer focus towards innovation. This unique three-dimensional factor structure, and its item-level composition are the major contributions of this study

本研究旨在将“专注于创新”概念化为团队层面的构建，并开发一种有理论基础和实证稳健的机制来在组织环境中对其进行衡量。采用严格的多方法设计来开发和验证团队创新重点 (TFI) 规模。对分析样本 (n1 = 256) 和验证样本 (n2 = 216) 进行因子分析，用于识别和验证 TFI 构建的三因子结构，包括子维度——内部焦点、其他焦点和外部焦点创新。这种独特的三维因子结构及其项目层面的构成是本研究的主要贡献
