This document describes the development of a Self-Interest Scale to measure an individual's pursuit of personal gain. It discusses how the scale was developed based on literature about self-interest and motivation theories. An initial 20 item scale was created and analyzed, resulting in 10 final items. Factor analysis identified three factors accounting for variance. Reliability was established through item analysis and a Cronbach's alpha of 0.769. Validity was assessed by comparing the scale to other similar measures and through theoretical frameworks. The scale seeks to understand self-interest in a healthcare project management division but may generalize to other organizations.
