Abstract
Inspired by the broader models of job performance assessment, there is an attempt to develop and empirically verify an instrument for measuring work behaviour. Defining job performance in the perspective of individual behaviour leads scholars to integrate in their measuring contextual activities that are not directly linked to the task. Work behaviour self-assessment scale is theoretically based on five indicators divided into two wider types of behaviours: related to the (1) results and to the (2) manners of conduct. According to the results of Principal component analysis, 64% of total variance was explained by eight main components, labelled according to the related items. Scale distribution did not deviate from normal with internal consistency of Cronbach`s alpha=.79. Finally, some ideas for improving characteristics of the scale are provided.
