Details
Dr Sian Williams (University of Brighton) devised a questionnaire to measure organizational ability. She predicted five factors to do with organizational ability: (1) preference for organization; (2) goal achievement; (3) planning approach; (4) acceptance of delays; and (5) preference for routine. These dimensions are theoretically independent. Williams's questionnaire contains 28 items using a seven-point Likert scale (1 = strongly disagree, 4 = neither, 7 = strongly agree). She gave it to 239 people.
