Abstract: Micromanagement, in ordinary parlance, is managing things closely and under strict scrutiny. The management style, which involves excessive control and close supervision, could lead to annoying situations and create an atmosphere of mistrust within the organisational settings. Micromanagers seldom give autonomy to their subordinates, dislike feedback, and get involved even in the most intricate of project details. A fair review of literature found there is no scientifically validated questionnaire to measure micromanagement. The present work is a modest effort to fill this gap in literature. By following the rules of the thumps and the stipulations provided by experts in the fields, the authors have scientifically constructed and validated a four factor, 18-item micromanagement questionnaire. Though there is further scope for refining and generalisation across cultures, the questionnaire is an effective scale for the measurement of the construct of micromanagement.
