Sustainability Measurement Scales: criteria, specificities, and basic protocol
Resumo
Sustainability is an important construct for social and economic development. It requires an objective definition of measurement methods, and it helps decision makers to clarify and discern their choices. This article aims to map and to analyse the specifics of measurement scales with a scope aimed at sustainability, with a goal of advancing the study of sustainability measures. The final sample consists of 31 articles collected in order to: i) identify analytical elements regarding the specificities of the scales; ii) check its scope; iii) evaluate the reliability and validity measures used; iv) map the main limitations; and v) propose a sustainability research agenda. The study contributes by categorising and analysing the measurement process. It makes it possible to understand the stages necessary for the elaboration and validation of measurement instruments specific to this field of research.
