IMEB-SBA
Instrument for Measuring Epistemic Beliefs in Sustainable Business Administration
Short abstract
The IMEB-SBA assesses individual ideas about knowledge and knowledge acquisition for sustainable management. It builds on the model of epistemic beliefs of Hofer and Pintrich (1997) and Berding (2015, 2016, 2017). The questionnaire comprises 35 empirically tested items that capture the ideas about the structure, source, applicability, stability and justification of knowledge for sustainable management. Reliability: Depending on the study and scale, reliability varies between Cronbach's Alpha = .71 and Alpha = .90. Validity: The factor structure was confirmed in two studies by means of confirmatory factor analyses. The Fornell-Larcker criterion and forest tests confirm the discriminatory validity of the scales. There is evidence of correlations with the test results on knowledge for sustainable management.
