Workshop

Much of the quantitative research in management and social sciences deals with latent constructs - their operationalization, and their inter-relationships. The operationalization process predominantly involves either development of measure for new construct or refinement of existing measure for given construct. This workshop intends to cover both of these aspects with special focus on developing new measures. The motivation behind conducting this workshop is based on the philosophy that in a research anything can be measured and can be managed effectively. In the development of a scale, we start from an abstract phenomenon (generally called concept), define its meaning and scope, and develop its measure. It is a multi-stage scientific process which incorporates qualitative ways to set up the conceptual scope of phenomenon and robust quantitative assessments to establish reliability and validity. Majority of scales being used in Indian context are mainly adapted versions of western scales, which do not fully capture the contextual reality of the phenomenon. There have been calls in the past for developing India-specific measures for various constructs (management and social science). While, few attempts have been made by Indian scholars in this direction but lot more needs to be done. This workshop will offers a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of scale construction and development process. Session overview with an understanding of scale development process and procedure. More specifically, we will explore how and when scale development is required in social science research. The workshop would be useful for the faculties, trainers, researchers, and professionals.
