The Berg/Wiebe Resource Exchange Scale: A Reliability and Validity Study

Abstract

The Berg/Wiebe Resource Exchange Scale was developed based on Resource Exchange Theory as presented by Foa and Foa (1974) and represents an attempt to measure the exchange of numerous resources at the workplace and the level of satisfaction with these exchanges (Berg & Wiebe, 1989; 1993). As such, the research contained in this paper focuses on the evaluation of the reliability and validity of the Berg/Wiebe Resource Exchange Scale. Results indicated the Berg/Wiebe Resource Exchange Scale is a reliable and valid instrument for measuring the exchange of resources in the workplace and the level of satisfaction with these exchanges.
