The Methods of  Monitoring Scale by Niehoff and Ghartey-Tagoe (1991)

For this study‚ we added items measuring parts of the constructs that were not adequately represented in the original scales and de‎leted items that seemed to stray from the intended constructs. The resulting scales were observation‚ five items‚ manager-initiated discussions‚ five items‚ and formal meetings‚ three items. All items were measured on a six point scale ranging from "behavior not exhibited" to "behavior exhibited more than once per day."
