Abstract

The purpose of this study is to address the lack of an appropriate scale to measure job delight by proposing an initial scale to measure job delight using input from scholars and experts in the field pertaining to job delight. This study employed mixed methods and a two-stage design, in which in the first phase the Delphi method was employed, and in-depth interviews were conducted with researchers and faculty members at universities in the MENA region with expertise on job delight. The first stage generated the survey questionnaires to measure the construct of job delight. In stage two, we assessed the face validity of the derived items from the Delphi study by conducting the survey with 407 faculty members at universities in the MENA region. We offer empirical insights into how job delight can be measured by an 18-item scale with four dimensions.
