Science? Hard to measure workplace behavior and team health. There are probably books which offer advice and anecdotes, but a &quot;science of workplace behavior&quot; seems unlikely. On the other hand, there are books which may be useful. For example, <i>The Best Place to Work: The Art and Science of Creating an Extraordinary Workplace</i> by Ron Friedman might be helpful. (Your query motivated me to purchase a copy.) I found <i>Tribal Leadership: Leveraging Natural Groups to Build a Thriving Organization</i> by Dave Logan,‎ John King,‎ and Halee Fischer-Wright worth the read.<p>My point--there is not much real quantitative science in this area: just stories and cautionary tales.
