Development and Validation of a Measure of Attitudes toward Employee Drug Testing

Colorado State University

George C. Thornton, III

Colorado State University

Employee drug testing, although widespread, is still controversial. In this study, a 19-item scale measuring attitudes toward employee drug testing, based on responses to actual drug testing policies and practices, was developed. The obtained coefficient alpha for this scale was .90. Results of a maximum-likelihood confirmatory factor analysis indicate a four-factor structure (one general and three content-oriented factors). Evidence of criterion-related validity and discriminant validity were offered.
