The document is an assessment scale used to measure employee innovation behavior. It contains 14 statements about innovative activities for respondents to rate themselves on a 7-point scale from very ineffective to extremely effective. Some example statements include operating new technologies and processes, tackling undefined problems, mastering new skills, and finding solutions to difficult problems. The scale was adapted from previous innovation behavior scales and is intended to evaluate an individual's innovative behaviors at work.
