Nowadays organizations that use teams to compete become a trend. Working with teams is more effective and efficient than working individually because tasks are more quickly collected, distributed and more focused. The team facilitates employee participation in decisions. So the team is an effective means for management to democratize the organization and increase employee motivation. However, working with a team is not always effective because some staff prefer to work individually. The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of teamwork with the effectiveness of employee performance.

The number of samples was 30 people from a total of 75 employees. The results of the relationship between teamwork and team effectiveness show a strong relationship (r = 0.624) and have a positive pattern which means that the more effective teamwork, the more effective the team. The coefficient value with a determination of 0.389 means, the regression line equation that we can explain 38.9% of variations in team effectiveness or the obtained line equation is good enough to explain the team effectiveness variable. Statistical test results found that there was a significant relationship between teamwork and team effectiveness.

The highest risk factor for the incidence of scabies was occupancy density (OR = 24,200, 95% CI = 7,990 - 73,299). Second is the room conditions (OR = 15,000, 95% CI = 3,639 - 61,832); third is personal hygiene (OR = 13,714, 95% CI = 4,210 - 44,677). The intervention will effectively reduce risk factors that contribute to scabies, namely occupancy density, room conditions, and personal hygiene. The ratio of the number of students in a room, room conditions are highly recommended to meet health requirements. Then the improvement of personal hygiene behavior for every occupant of the school.
