Abstract
This study reports on the construction of an instrument to assess indi viduals' perceptions of feedback from various sources in a work enviro nment, and to investigate the effects of the sources' credibility on t hose perceptions. Six dimensions were found to reflect the sources of feedback and the type of information they convey, and 10 dimensions we re found to represent the degree of credibility the individual attribu tes to the sources of feedback. Data collected from a heterogeneous sa mple of 706 employees in the UK and Brazil were analysed to establish the reliability and construct validity of the questionnaire.
