Development of the Self-Regulatory Scale in Work-Related Interactions
Social interactions at work require constant monitoring of skills and self attributes to help individuals adapt to contextual demands. Four self-regulatory processes (SRPs) are responsible for such adjustment: self-enhancement (SE), self-verification (SV), self-assessment (SA) and self-improvement (SI). This study introduces a measure of the SRPs in typical social interactions with peers and supervisors at work - the Work- Related Self-regulatory Process Scale (WR-SRPS). An exploratory (268 professionals, 59.5% women) and another confirmatory study (205 participants, 56.6% women) were conducted. Results show that the scale evaluates SE, SA and SI satisfactorily. Additionally, they indicate the need of different versions of the WR-SRPS to evaluate the relationship with peers and supervisors. Despite the limitations, results demonstrate that it is a promising measure to assess SRPs at work.
