Abstract
Measurement in organizational psychology is dominated by the use of approaches that require the
cooperation of a respondent—namely, questionnaires and interviews. The goal of this article is to
increase and improve the use of unobtrusivemeasures as a supplementalmeans toassess psychological
constructs in organizational research. Specifically, we first illustrate themerit and necessity of utilizing
unobtrusive measures. Next, we review the literature employing unobtrusive measures to assess
psychological constructs and then discuss threats to validity associated with these approaches. Finally,
we offer recommendations to enhance the effectiveness of unobtrusive measures in future research.
