Colleagues,

Many of the posts to this list are for measures of constructs. Rather
than ask for measures, what I'd like to inquire about is resources that
list out measures--hopefully an online source. What would be ideal is if
there's a website like "surveymeasures.org" where you can type a keyword
& get information about measures available for it. Obviously this is a
moving target, but I'd like to know what's out there. Please respond to
this email if you can share any "measures clearinghouse(s),"
particularly if they are online sources.

Thanks in advance,

Roger,

The Research Methods division of Academy of Management has a "measure
chest" that has information / a working reference list on all kinds of
organizational measures, divided into 12 categories. You can find it
at http://division.aomonline.org/rm/

Roger:

There are some online resources on scales. On my website (go to
scales), I list scales we have developed and links to a few online
resources, including the AOM RM division Measures Chest.

There are at least two online resources I know of:

http://ipip.ori.org/newMultipleconstructs.htm has measures of personality
and related constructs.

NIOSH has a searchable database for tools as well that can be found here:
