ABSTRACT: Experienced appreciation at work is incongruently defined and measured in the scientific literature. Therefore, this article aims to give an overview of different definitions and measures of experienced appreciation at work to clarify the confusing state of research. Then, the new construct, Experienced Appreciation in Social Interactions (EA-SI) at Work, is introduced to counter the incongruency in defining experienced appreciation at work and to provide a reliable and comparable operationalization of the construct.
