Metacognition, a term that is scarcely used at workplaces, drives emotional intelligence,
social intelligence, problem-solving skills and learning capabilities of individuals.
In this context, the present research puts forward an adaptation of Metacognition
Awareness Inventory (originally developed by Schraw and Dennison, 1994) for working
professionals. The inventory was adapted by administering MAI, reworded for work
context, on 297 working professionals. The composite reliability score has been found to
be .90. Convergent validity has also been established. The inventory can now be used
for working professionals to assess their metacognitive ability, which in turn facilitates
an insight into their problem-solving abilities, capacity for collaboration and mindfulness.
