A nomological network is developed containing a set of hypotheses which guided efforts to validate the construct and its research scale. Homogeneity of scale items, stability of dimensions, reliability (test-retest and internal consistency), convergent, concurrent and predictive validity estimates were all inspected through the conduct of a combination field studies and a laboratory experiment. Results from a validation effort involving eight samples (N>2000) representing a diversity of organizations and occupations are presented. Results supported all hypotheses. Recommendations for future research are suggested.enBureau of Business and Economic ResearchUniversity of Minnesota DuluthWorking Paper
