Appendix A
Role Clarity (RC) RC1 I feel certain about how much authority I have RC2 Clear, planned goals and objectives for my job RC3 I know that I have divided my time properly RC4 I know what my responsibilities are RC5 I know exactly what is expected of me RC6 The explanation is clear of what has to be done |
Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) OCB1 I volunteer to do things for my work group. OCB2 I help orient new employees in my work group. OCB3 I attend functions that help my work group, even though they are beyond the formal requirements of my job. OCB4 I assist others in my work group with their work for the benefit of the group. OCB5 I get involved in order to benefit my work group. OCB6 I help others in my work group learn about the work. OCB7 I help others in my work group with their work responsibilities. |
Employee Performance (EP) Task performance EP1 I managed to plan my work so that it was done on time. EP2 My planning was optimal. EP3 I kept in mind the results that I had to achieve in my work. EP4 I was able to separate the main issues from the side issues at work. EP5 I was able to perform my work well with minimal time and effort. Contextual performance EP6 I took on extra responsibilities. EP7 I started new tasks myself, when my old ones were finished. EP8 I took on challenging work tasks, when available. EP9 I worked at keeping my job knowledge up-to-date. EP10 I worked at keeping my job skills up-to-date. EP11 I came up with creative solutions to new problems. EP12 I kept looking for new challenges in my job. EP13 I actively participated in work meetings. Counterproductive work behavior EP14 I complained about unimportant matters at work. EP15 I made problems greater than they were at work. EP16 I focused on the negative aspects of a work situation, instead of on the positive aspects. EP17 I spoke with colleagues about the negative aspects of my work. EP18 I spoke with people from outside the organization about the negative aspects of my work. |
Artificial Intelligence Information (AII) AII1 AI tools produce correct information AII2 There are a few errors in the information I obtain from AI tools AII3 The information provided by AI tools is accurate AII4 AI tools provide me with the most recent information AII5 AI tools produce the most current information AII6 The information from AI tools is always up to date |
Innovative Work Behavior (IWB) IWB1 Creating new ideas in critical situations IWB2 Searching out advanced up to date technology with the latest reliable working methods, techniques, tools, etc. IWB3 Analyze and generate reliable solutions for problems IWB4 Motivating colleagues and making them enthusiastic for innovative ideas, according to the situation IWB5 Converting proposed innovative ideas into useful applications IWB6 Presenting innovative ideas systematically with respect to the situation |
Leader-Member Exchange (LMX) LMX1 Do you usually feel that you know where you stand, and do you usually know how satisfied your immediate supervisor is with what you do? LMX2 How well do you feel that your immediate supervisor understands your problems and needs? LMX3 How well do you feel that your immediate supervisor recognizes your potential? LMX4 Regardless of how much formal authority your immediate supervisor has built into his or her position, what are the chances that he or she would be personally inclined to use power to help you solve problems m your work? LMX5 Again, regardless of the amount of formal authority your immediate supervisor has, to what extent can you count on him or her to “bail you out” at his or her expense when you really need it? LMX6 I have enough confidence in my immediate supervisor that I would defend and justify his or her decisions if he or she were not present to do so LMX7 How would you characterize your working relationship with your immediate supervisor? |
