Abstract
Supervisors who experience the IKEA effect fail to separate value from ownership, overvalue their own efforts, and may hesitate to delegate. This tendency may increase workload, physical fatigue and stress, and decrease work-life balance. The present study describes the development and preliminary validation of a scale to assess this disposition.
