- Authors
Scarpello, Vida; Vandenberg, Robert J.
- Abstract
Thsi paper describes initial development and testing of an empirically derived scale that measures satisfaction with immediate supervision. The Satisfaction With My supervisor Scale (SWMSS) was developed over a 3-year period. Developmental samples consisted of 2,101 employees at seven manufacturing plants located across the United States. The scale was subsequently applied to a sample of 1,104 employees at seven manufacturing plants located across the United States. The scale was subsequently applied to a sample of 1,104 employees of a major insurance company in New England. The SWMSS exhibits convergent, discriminant, predictive, and content validities. Moreover, it shows promise for generalizability across employee groups and employment situations.
