Validation of the Job Desirability Exercise: A Decision-Modeling Experiment for Measuring the Need for Socialized Power

A new behavioral measure of the need for socialized power was developed and tested. No previous attempt has been made to measure this construct. Participants were 267 graduate and undergraduate business majors. The new instrument was found to possess adequate internal consistency and test-retest reliability, and to avoid social desirability response bias. Correlations with other variables and confirmation of six hypotheses supported construct validity. These results are discussed in light of further validation of the instrument.
