Organizational Dissent Scale
The Organizational Dissent Scale (ODS) is a 24-item self-report instrument that measures the likelihood with which employees will share dissent with varying audiences. The instrument gauges how employees express dissent in response to organizational policies and practices along three dimensions: upward/articulated dissent expressed to management, lateral/latent dissent expressed to coworkers, and displaced dissent expressed to family and non-work friends. The ODS appeared in Management Communication Quarterly (Kassing, 1998). Click on the highlighted text to download the Organizational Dissent Scale.
The 18-item Revised Organizational Dissent Scale that only included dissent expressed within organizations (the upward and lateral dimensions of the original ODS) appeared in Communication Research Reports (Kassing, 2000).
