Abstract:

This study develops a multidimensional scale for measuring the concept of wisdom. Through synthesizing

and augmenting multiple conceptualizations and operationalizations of wisdom, we propose and validate

a twenty-one item measure of wisdom. This measure integrates literature from both the implicit and

explicit theories of wisdom in psychology and also incorporates recent management literature. Two

studies are conducted and both demonstrate support for dimensionality, reliability and validity of the

proposed scale. This scale offers a more complete and theoretically grounded measure of wisdom in a

workplace context, thus contributing to the extant literature.
