Abstract

Using data from four different samples of full-time employees (N _total = 2,474), the present study was aimed to introduce and demonstrate the validity and reliability of the Organizational-Based General Self-esteem Scale (OB-GSE) a new six-item self-report scale to measure organizational-based self-esteem (OBSE) at work. Results provided evidence of (1) validity (internal, external, and convergent), (2) reliability, and (3) temporal stability of the OB-GSE scale. All in all, results attested the usefulness and the effectiveness of the OB-GSE scale.

Keywords: confirmatory factor analysis; measurement invariance; organizational-based self-esteem; scale development; self-esteem at work; validity and reliability.
