Handbook of Management Scales/Response uncertainty
Response uncertainty (alpha = 0.74)
editDescription
editAn important contribution to the literature on perceived environmental uncertainty (PEU) is Milliken's (1987) distinction between state uncertainty, effect uncertainty, and response uncertainty. Using a two-phase empirical study, this research seeks to develop and test scales to measure the three constructs in terms of dimensionality, reliability, and validity (including nomological validity).
Definition
editResponse uncertainty characterizes an inability to predict the likely consequences of a response choice.
