Beschreibung:
This study evaluated the psychometric properties of the Organizational Bullshit Perception Scale (OBPS) using two samples of employees of organizations in various sectors. The scale is designed to gauge perceptions of the extent of bullshit that exists in a workplace, where bullshit is defined as taking place when people in an organization make statements with no regard for the truth. The exploratory factor analysis revealed three factors of organizational bullshit, termed regard for truth, the boss and bullshit language. The three factors are consistent with existing literature in the field of organizational bullshit and offer further insight into the ways in which bullshit is masqueraded in an organization. Future researchers should seek to validate the OBPS and further develop the three identified factors of organizational bullshit. Examining the influence of organizational bullshit on a number of metrics of success could identify the means through which organizational bullshit may impact business objectives
