The Research

Reliability Analysis for Workplace Values Instrument

The brief table below presents each of the six Values themes as expressed in the Workplace Values Instrument, and expressed the Cronbach's Alpha reliability coefficient. Cronbach's alpha was selected because it is a more rigorous method of determining instrument reliability than is either split-half or Kuder-Richardson methods.


Values Theme alpha
Theoretical .8025
Economic .8133
Individualistic .7675
Altruistic .8362
Political .7153
Regulatory .7273

Reliability and Validity work is an active characteristic of the Workplace Values instrument. A variety of statistical processes are a part of the continuous improvement design subscribed to by the developers of the Workplace Values Inventory since the early design work in 1982. Through this statistical modeling, we have seen various trends on the early side of trend emergence.

The above information was determined from a random sample of 10% of a group of 3,010 individuals throughout a wide spectrum of US businesses for the first half of the year 2002. Other specific statistical investigations have been conducted. These include:

  • ANOVA
  • Two-way mixed effect model (for internal consistency measures)
  • Tukey estimate of power
  • Hotelling's T-Squared
  • AMOS Structural equation factor modeling
  • Factor Analysis
    • Extraction: Principal Component Analysis
    • Varimax Rotation method with Kaiser Normalization
  • Correlations:
    • Cronbach's Alpha (table above)
    • Spearman's rho
  • Item-to-item correlation matrix
  • Interclass correlation coefficients

How do I use it?

The Pro-Active Values questionnaire is simple to administer.

Once a person is setup, they complete the questionnaire online and results are instantly available, at the discretion of the system administrator.

Pro-ActiveValues can be used (on its own or in combination with Pro-ActiveStyles):

  • as an awareness tool for use in Training Interventions
  • as an input to a Development process
  • as an input to a selection process where a job role requires specific behaviours
  • as an input to a Team Development process
  • as an input to analysing why meetings are not productive, and
  • for valuable insight into Conflict Resolution processes


Simply set the person up to complete the questionnaire, they will receive an email invitation sent by our system.

Once completed, you can review the results on the screen or print the report using our powerful online PDF engine.

The process is simple, and the report outstanding.
