WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Subjective Assessment of the Degree of Regulation of Work Tasks Test

Subjective Assessment of the Level of Work Task Regulation Test

arrange work behavior

This measure assesses an individual’s perceptions of how clearly work tasks are governed by rules, procedures, and formal requirements. The Subjective Assessment of the Level of Work Task Regulation is intended to characterize perceived task formalization within a role or work context. It was developed by Edwin A. Locke and Gary P. Latham.

The instrument consists of 18 items and typically requires about 4 minutes to complete. Responses can be used to describe the degree of alignment or discrepancy between formal job expectations and the employee’s subjective experience, supporting interpretation in organizational assessment, work climate surveys, or evaluation of change initiatives.

The Subjective Assessment of the Level of Work Task Regulation is not a performance test; it is a self-report measure of perceived structure and constraint in work tasks. Results are commonly interpreted in conjunction with other sources of information (e.g., job documentation, supervisory input) to inform discussions about role clarity, procedural fit, and potential areas for workflow or policy refinement.
