摘要
While Appreciative Intelligence (R) - the capacity to reframe and see the potential in any situation and act on it with success - has generated a robust body of literature, scholarly advancement of this construct has been hampered by the lack of a validated instrument. Over two studies, we develop the Appreciative Intelligence (R) Scale (AIS), a 26-item survey organized into six factors. Study 1 explores the factor structure of the AIS using EFA. Study 2 uses hierarchical confirmatory factor analysis (HCFA) and hierarchical regression analyses to provide evidence for its convergent, discriminant, and criterion-related validity. The results support the priori six-factor structure of the AIS, indicating it is a valid measure of Appreciative Intelligence (R) useful in predicting proactive behavior at the individual, team, and organizational levels.
