The Work Climate Questionnaire WCQ

Perceived Autonomy Support: The Climate Questionnaires

The Work Climate Questionnaire (WCQ)

The WCQ has a long form containing 15 items and a short form containing 6 of the items. The questionnaire is typically used with respect to specific work settings‚ such as teams or work groups that have one manager‚ and the wording can be changed slightly to specify the particular situation being studied. In these cases‚ the

questions pertain to the autonomy support of the respondents manager. If‚ however‚ the WCQ is being used to assess a general work climate that goes beyond a particular work group‚ the questions are stated with respect to the autonomy support in general of the managers of that company‚ department‚ or organization. Below‚ you will find the 15-item version of the questionnaire‚ worded in terms of Òmy managerÓ (or supervisor). If you would like to use the 6-item version‚ simply reconstitute the questionnaire using only items # 1‚ 2‚ 4‚ 7‚ 10 and 14.
