Good Morning, All:

I am searching for a measure of competition in the workplace. I would like to find a measure (or a measure that can be adapted) that can assess competition as a situational variable.  I have come across several scales of competitiveness as a personality trait or motivational trait, but nothing that captures the idea of competition as a relational situation.  

Any and all input is appreciated!

Regards,
