In addition to taking this precautionary measure, the survey includes a scale to measure social desirability bias. This scale is an abbreviated version of the Crowne–Marlowe Social Desirability Scale . Crowne and Marlowe, 1960 . The scale used in this survey is shortened due to 1 length considerations, and 2 the non-applicability of some of the scale items in the original Crowne–Marlowe Social Desirability Scale, which was developed for the population in general rather than business people in particular. The scale in the current study consists of items drawn from a realm of behaviors that are ‘culturally sanctioned and approved, but which are improbable of occurrence’ Crowne and Marlowe, 1960 , such as ‘‘I have never felt the urge to tell someone off in my organization.’’
