About this scale
The authors introduced the organization-based self-esteem construct and its measurement. They conducted several field studies to inspect different types of reliability and validity.
Sample item(s)
“I count around here.”
Notes
In all studies, the means turned out to be above the center. Given that a 5-point scale was employed, future researchers might use words like "always" to shift the means to the center, i.e., towards 3.
