The DENA coding scheme (Detailed Event Narrative Analysis) was initially developed for use in the T.E.A.M. Study (Team Events and Motivation Study) at Harvard Business School (HBS) (Teresa M. Amabile, Principal Investigator). It was designed to allow comprehensive, detailed content analysis of events described in the daily diary narratives written by organizational employees participating in the T.E.A.M. Study. The DENA Coding Scheme Manual is published as a separate document (Amabile, Mueller, & Archambault, 2003). The Manual summarizes the aims, background, and methodology of the T.E.A.M. Study, and describes in detail the DENA coding scheme, its development, its dimensions, and its proper use.
