Creative Potential Measure for Organizations: Instrument Construction and Content Validity Evidences

Abstract

The present study reports the process of developing a scale to assess creative characteristics in the organizational context, as well as the results of the search for evidence of content validity. From an interview with 10 leaders, managers, and supervisors, 18 creative characteristics valued in the organizational environment were selected to compose the items on the scale. Each characteristic gave rise to two items, with one version consisting of 36 items, which was subjected to content evaluation by five expert judges. Two evaluation rounds were conducted and indicated the adequacy of the items. Subsequently, the kappa statistic for each judge was estimated and indicated values that were considered adequate, between .85 and .97. After completing the studies reported here, further studies aimed at investigating the psychometric qualities of the scale are recommended, involving the analysis of empirical data.
