    I am gong nutso....   can anyone confirm the following as the LMX6 leader-member scale?
     
    Subordinate Leader-Member Exchange Instrument (LMX-6)
    (Schrieshiem, Neider & Scandura, 1988)

    1)   My supervisor does not require that I get his/her input or approval before making decisions.

        Always

        Very Often

        Fairly many times

        Occasionally

        Never

     

    2)   My supervisor lets me make decisions by myself, without consulting with him/her.

        Always

        Very Often

        Fairly many times

        Occasionally

        Never

     

    3)   My supervisor gives me the authority to make my own decisions, without any input from him/her.

        Always

        Very Often

        Fairly many times

        Occasionally

        Never

     

    4)   I ask my supervisor for information for information and then make job-related decision for myself.

        Always

        Very Often

        Fairly many times

        Occasionally

        Never

     

    5)   My supervisor gives me areas where I decide on my own, after first getting information from him/her.

        Always

        Very Often

        Fairly many times

        Occasionally

        Never

     

    6)   My supervisor permits me to get needed information from him/her and then make my own decisions.

        Always

        Fairly many times

        Occasionally

        Never

    The LMX scale seems to change every year--but these items seem all to
    pertain to empowerment (delegation). LMX used to be far broader in content.

    Dear Holger and others –

     

    I wonder if the following article might be of interest?

     

    Bernerth et  al. (2007). Leader–member social exchange (LMSX): Development and validation of a scale. Journal of Organizational Behavior, 28, 979-1003.

     

    I hope this helps,

     

    ~Michael
