Measurement of Organizational Conflict

Abstract The study reports on the development of an instrument containing factorially independent scales for measuring three types of organizational conflict: Intrapersonal, intragroup, and intergroup. The items for the instrument were selected through repeated factor analyses of data collected from three successive samples (N = 635) and/or feedback from the Ss. Data on the final instrument from a national sample of 1188 executives and a collegiate sample of 266 students provide substantial evidence of reliability and validity of the scales.
