| Abstract: | There has been a growing concern within organisations regarding showing vulnerability (Brown, 2015). Based on Bruk, Scholl, and Bless (2018), this study developed a scale to measure perceptions of the benefits and costs of showing vulnerability and showing vulnerability behaviour. We expand Bruk et al. (2018) definition of showing vulnerability as an individual's conscious and sincere willingness to admit mistakes, seek help, acknowledge limitations, and express emotions. We conducted five focus groups with employees and supervisors from different industries and then used a questionnaire survey to collect and analyse the scale data. The questionnaire was collected from R&D of Taiwan technology companies and full-time employees who interact with supervisors and colleagues. A total of 280 questionnaires were distributed, and 266 questionnaires were returned. After deleting invalid questionnaires, exploratory factor analysis was conducted on 253 questionnaires. We examined similar concepts of self-disclosure, feedback-seeking, and helping behaviour, which are related to showing vulnerability. The results indicated that the four variables had discriminative validity. Ashford's (1986) and Brown's (2015) findings that confidence and affect-based trust are related to feedback seeking and show vulnerability. Both variables have criterion-related validity when showing vulnerability. After completing the development process, we identify three dimensions of the perceived benefits and two dimensions of the perceived cost of showing vulnerability, including the perceived benefit of learning, which has 5 items; the perceived benefit of relational connection, which has 5 items; and the perceived benefit of self-presentation, which has 6 items. The perceived cost dimensions are the perceived cost of self-esteem, which has 5 items, and the perceived cost of career development, which has 3 items. Lastly, there are two dimensions to showing vulnerability. One involves emotional vulnerability with two items; the other has eight items for showing vulnerability. This scale contributes to future research and practice related to showing vulnerability. |
