Handbook of Management Scales/Score keeping

Description
The authors measured performance measurement system (PMS) use for attention focusing and score keeping with the scales of Vandenbosch (1999).

Definition
Score keeping represents “a diagnostic PMS use (Simons, 1990) for reporting and surveillance (Feldman and March, 1981), where the guiding question is: “How am I doing?” (Simon et al., 1954)”.

Items
Please rate the extent to which your upper management currently uses PMS to…
 * …track progress towards goals. (0.67)
 * …review key performance indicators. (0.60)
 * …monitor results. (0.93)
 * …compare outcomes to expectations. (0.91)

Items were measured with a 7-point Likert scales ranging from “1 = not at all” to “7 = to a very great extent”.
