Measuring the Impact of a Shared Vision on the Perceived Meaningfulness.

In this paper we describe an approach to assess the impact that a shared vision has on the perceived meaningfulness of work in an organization. Our measurement system is based on the essential principles of performance measurement. Building on this assessment logic, we present the process and respective scales that allow us to measure changes in perceived meaningfulness that occur through a shared vision development process. With this work, we provide a practically applicable measure to evaluate whether the creation of a shared vision is beneficial for an organization. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
