This study focuses on developing a quantitative measure for generative commitment, a critical but underexplored component of generativity in the workplace. While generative concern and behavior have been widely studied, generative commitment—the sustained motivation to guide and develop the next generation—lacks a direct and accessible method of measurement. Existing approaches are proxies rather than direct measurement, limiting generativity research. By creating a concise and reliable scale, this study aims to offer a valid and reliable measure, providing a tool to assess generative commitment more efficiently. The study includes validation efforts through three studies with populations in different age ranges. Future research opportunities with development of this scale allow for longitudinal studies to test the stability of generative commitment over time and across life stages, as well as expanding to samples in the same organization to increase ability to discuss effects at different levels—to the team, unit and organization. For practitioners and organizational leaders, this scale offers practical insights into identifying and nurturing employees with strong generative tendencies, enhancing mentorship and leadership development programs. Overall, the study advances the theoretical understanding of generativity by clarifying the role of commitment in driving consistent, long-term generative behaviors.
