It is envisaged that this study based on primary data collected from 177 scientists from three nationalized research and development organizations in central Kerala, South India and carried out during the time period of June to September 2016 ,will add to our understanding of the link between interpersonal trust,group cohesion and team effectiveness.Partial Least Squares (PLS) was used to authorize the relationship among the variables. Findings of the study are conferred, together with limitations and suggestions for future research.
