Handbook of Management Scales/Feedback self-efficacy
Feedback self-efficacy (alpha > 0.70)[edit | edit source]
Description[edit | edit source]
A multidimensional measure of feedback orientation is developed and validated. This feedback orientation scale (FOS) was developed and refined using two pilot studies and two focal studies. Across these studies, substantial support was found for a four-dimension FOS scale. The four dimensions are utility, accountability, social awareness, and feedback self-efficacy. Study 1 found substantial support for the reliability and validity of the scale. Study 2 provided support for the generalizability of results to a field sample, with five of the six hypotheses retested being supported.
Definition[edit | edit source]
Feedback orientation is defined as an individual’s overall receptivity to feedback.
Feedback self-efficacy is defined as an individual’s tendency to have confidence in dealing with feedback situations and feedback.
