Analysis

The Organizational Policies and Practices Scale (OPAP) is a psychometric tool designed to evaluate the effectiveness and impact of policies and practices adopted by organizations. It focuses on understanding how these policies and practices influence the work environment, employee satisfaction, and organizational performance.

Purpose

The aims of the scale are to:
Evaluate Policies: Record and assess the policies implemented by organizations regarding equality, diversity, ethics, and corporate responsibility.
Understand Impacts: Analyze how policies and practices affect employee satisfaction, commitment, and overall organizational performance.
Support Policy Development: Provide data to assist in the creation and implementation of more effective and fair organizational policies.
Strengthen Organizational Culture: Contribute to building a positive and supportive work environment that promotes productivity and employee well-being.

Scoring

The scale includes various statements that participants evaluate using a Likert scale ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). These statements address issues such as diversity management, gender equality, organizational justice, and employee support. Total scores provide an estimate of the effectiveness and acceptance of organizational policies.
