Collectivism

Description

Collectivism was measured with four items taken from Earley (1989).

Items

• Working with a group is better than working alone.
• Individuals are responsible for the successes or failures of work groups.
• One should live one’s life independent of others as much as possible (reverse coded).
• Each worker is responsible for the outcomes of his or her company.
