    Hi everyone,

     

    I have an unusual request. I found this scale in my old files and I like it at face value, but I can't for the life of me find who developed it or what its psychometric properties are. I checked available scale/item databases and googled it to no avail.

     

    Would anyone have any idea where this is from?

     

     

    Competitive/cooperative culture

     

    1. It is common practice here for people to hurt others in order to succeed.

    2. It is important in this organization to treat people nicely.

    3. It is preferable to work with others in this organization than to work alone.

    4. Others in this organization react more competitively when someone performs better than they do.

    5. You have to rely on yourself only in this organization if you want to succeed.

    6. If you want something done right, you have to rely on yourself in this organization.

    7. Winning is everything in this organization.

    8. Group success, not individual success, is the most important thing around here.

    9. People in this organization think that working in a group is better than working alone.

    10. In this organization, you have to be willing to make sacrifices for the sake of the group's well-being.

    11. People in this organization believe that a group is more productive when its members do what the group wants them to do.

    12. In this organization, people believe that company success depends on people following their own interests and concerns.

    13. In this organization, teamwork is more important than who wins.

    14. In this organization, the rule is "every man for himself".

    15. Helping others is valued in this organization.

     

     

    Thanks
