Thriving at Work Scale.
Thriving (Porath/Spreitzer)
- What it measures
- Thriving at work as the joint experience of Vitality (a sense of aliveness and energy) and Learning (acquiring and applying knowledge/skills) in the work role.
- Length and format
- 10 (5 Vitality + 5 Learning). 7-pt Likert (1 strongly disagree - 7 strongly agree) (self-report questionnaire)
- Language versions
- Adapted into several languages (ES, ZH, DE and others)
- Normative data
- No normative data held in our reference library for this instrument. That is a statement about our library, not about the published literature.
- Licence
- open with attribution
Licence classification is a research judgement by the catalogue’s authors, not legal advice, and it can be out of date. Confirm terms with the copyright holder or publisher before using an instrument, especially for commercial use.

Choosing between this and the alternatives
We do not deliver this instrument. If you are selecting a measure for a research programme, a national survey or an assessment product, and the question is which instrument, in which language, against which norms and under which licence, that is the work we do.
