The use of moving images to generate data for behavioral analysis has long been a methodology available to organizational researchers. In this article, we draw from previous research in team dynamics to describe and discuss various methodological approaches to using video recorded behavior as a source of quantitative data. More specifically, we identify and examine key decision points for researchers and illustrate benefits and drawbacks to consider. The article concludes with suggestions for ways in which quantitative video-based approaches could be improved.
