Felt Organizational Publicness: Scale Development and Initial Validation
摘要
Organizational publicness is a fundamental concern to public administration, but little attention has been paid to its measurement at the individual level. This study develops a scale of felt organizational publicness and provides validation evidence. The findings result in a thirty-two-item scale comprising eleven factors. Higher-order factor models are tested to examine the relationships among these factors, revealing five key dimensions: purpose publicness, external environment publicness, value publicness, behavior publicness, and outcome publicness. The results also support the convergent, discriminant, and predictive validity of the scale.
