Organizations can benefit from striving to improve their employees’ organizational belonging. But how can they honestly measure their organizational belonging to evaluate whether their efforts are effective?
In their literature review, Gary Blau and Daniel Goldberg find that there is no unified way to measure all the aspects of organizational belonging in a single scale. Blau and Goldberg develop a unique scale that breaks down organizational belonging into four related dimensions:
- be myself
- acceptance
- value diversity and
- connection.
Furthermore, their data analysis consolidated the survey into just sixteen questions, making it easy to administer.
