On this page I have outlined the measures that were used in the survey I sent
to those people who participated in my PhD research.
1. Areas of Worklife Survey (AWS), 29 items, all five point Likert scale, from Leiter and Maslach, 2006.
Measures six variables: Workload
(6 items), Control ( 3 items), Reward (4 items), Community (5 items), Fairness (6 items) and Values (5 items).
The link below provides access to the Center for Organizational Research and Development where the Areas
of Worklife Survey may be obtained for research purposes. This center is headed by Professor Michael Leiter. Recently the
Centre has also provided access for researchers to the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI). This was a 'snag' I struck
when I was planning my research - copyright restrictions on the MBI made it impossible for me to use the inventory in online
surveys at that time.
To obtain permission to use the AWS (and now to use the Maslach Burnout Inventory) for research purposes
2. Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES), 17 items all seven point Likert
scale, from Schaufeli and Bakker, 2003.
Measures three variables: Dedication
(5 items), Vigour (6 items) and Absorption (6 items).

3. The Oldenburg Burnout Inventory (OLBI), 16 items all four point Likert scale, from Demerouti, Bakker, Vardakou and Kantas (2002).
Measures two variables: Exhaustion (8 items) and Disengagement (8 items). The OLBI was obtained
directly from the first author.
4. Procedural Justice Measures, 12 items, seven point Likert scale from Moorman, Blakely and Niehoff
(1998).
Measures two variables: Interactional Justice (6 items) and Procedural Justice (6 items). These were obtained
directly from the first author.
5.
Perceptions of Management Trustworthiness, 21 items, five point Likert scale from Mayer and Davis (1999).
Measures four variables: Perceptions of management
Ability
(6 items), Perceptions of management Benevolence
(5 items), Perceptions of management Integrity
(5 items) and Trust
in management (4 items). This survey appears in an
appendix of Mayer and Davis (1999).
The hypothetical model I designed and tested in my research appears below.
