Abstract

This study develops and psychometrically validates the Neuroplasticity Literacy in Working Life Scale (NLWLS), designed to evaluate employees’ engagement in enrichment activities and deliberate cognitive renewal practices. Based on a theoretical framework, neuroplasticity literacy is conceptualized through two behavioral dimensions: Enrichment Behaviors (EB) and Deliberate Cognitive Renewal (DCR). The scale was developed via a two-stage process involving expert evaluation, pilot testing, exploratory factor analysis, and confirmatory factor analysis using robust maximum likelihood estimation. Findings from two independent samples ( n = 120; n = 164) consistently support the two-factor structure, demonstrating high internal consistency, strong convergent and discriminant validity, and satisfactory model fit indices. The NLWLS offers a methodologically rigorous instrument for measuring neuroplasticity-related behaviors at work, contributing to understanding employees’ cognitive renewal capacity, learning agility, and sustainable learning outcomes. These results support the integration of neuroscience-based behavioral indicators into organizational learning research and provide a theoretical–practical foundation for future studies.
