Teamwork has an undeniable benefit in finding creative and effective solutions to situations in both work and school environments. Teamwork training can be seen as a necessary condition for the career growth of every individual. This article aims to explore students‘ attitudes towards teamwork, identify the reasons for positive and negative attitudes of students towards teamwork, and measure their level of satisfaction with various aspects of teamwork. The survey utilized a non-standardized questionnaire comprising closed-ended items, multiple-choice items, and scaled items. Out of the 148 respondents, the majority expressed a positive attitude towards teamwork across different aspects, with varying reasons and levels of satisfaction. Statistical analysis of the data revealed that there is no statistically significant difference between the groups with positive and negative attitudes towards teamwork regarding their views on the reasons that cause positive or negative attitudes. However, there is a significant difference between the groups in their evaluation of all the aspects of teamwork, except for difficulty and unfairness. Students with positive attitudes towards teamwork place significantly more importance on relationships within the team, express higher satisfaction with recognition for good achievements and with the opportunity to help others, and they also prioritize the opportunity to assist others more than students with negative attitudes.
