Analysis

The Supervisor-Related Commitment Scale is used to examine the extent to which employees are committed and dedicated to their supervisor, and how this affects their overall job satisfaction and commitment to work. The main dimensions usually assessed include professional support, recognition and rewards, trust in the relationship, and feedback.

Purpose

The purpose of the scale is to identify the level of employee commitment toward their supervisors and to evaluate how this commitment influences job satisfaction and loyalty to the organization.

Scoring

The scale typically includes questions referring to the dimensions of commitment related to the supervisor. Participants respond to items using a Likert scale, ranging from “1 = Strongly disagree” to “5 = Strongly agree.”
