This paper presents the development process of a new scale for assessing creative
behaviour in organizational setting. In this scale creative behaviour includes both
behavioural and cognitive aspects. To assess the creative behaviour a scale was
developed which consists of 17 items before standardization. In this scale subjects
have to give responses based on self-perception about their thinking and behavioural
creative ability. Sample of 155 managers working in different private sector
organizations in India were selected for the standardization of this scale. The
reliability index was ascertained by computing Cronbach’s alpha coefficient which
is found to be 0.803 for this scale. Based on corrected item-total correlation, 4
items are excluded and 13 remaining items are retained from the original scale.
This scale has good reliability index and could be a useful tool for assessing creative
behaviour in organizational setting.
