Furthermore, ten additional questions were used, which have revealed to be useful in practice to assess the degree of HRD involvement from organizations. These questions concern the organization and implementation or existence of certain HRD process and interventions (example item: "The possibilities and requirements necessary for career steps and development within the organization are visible for all employees"). Therefore, the five scales will be used to measure intended and perceived HRD. The factor analysis has shown that all items from the five constructs load on one factor with a reliability of Conbach's α = .94. No item had to be deleted and the five scales emerged to one variable called HRD.
