Abstract: The present study outlines the development process of two scales that measure general and specific retribution practices in organisations. Historically, retribution has been the subject of research of other social sciences such as Sociology and Business Administration. In Psychology, and more specifically in Work and Organisational Psychology, there are hardly any studies or inventories designed to evaluate retribution practices. In order to accomplish the objectives, a sample of 237 employees was selected, 42.6% of whom were women and 57.4% were men. We performed and exploratory factorial analysis using principal axis factoring as extraction method and an oblique rotation (oblimin) to analyse the two scales. The former is made up of four factors and the latter is a two-factor scale. The reliability coefficients of the six subscales we obtained ranged between .72 and .89. External validity was analysed using the correlations obtained between the two inventories and the Balanced Scorecard. The two tools were found to be two potentially useful scales to evaluate retribution practices. © 2012 Psicothema.
