Abstract: Organizational compassion research has been almost solely qualitative and constructivist in nature, making it difficult to establish or compare the concept's universality outside of influential case studies.Analysis of the literature suggests two related conceptualizations of organizational compassion: The first positions organizational compassion as a four-part process of noticing, empathising, assessing and responding (NEAR), which occurs at the interpersonal level (i.e. between colleagues).The second treats organizational compassion as single dimensional, higher order construct that positively affects employees work experience and organizational outcomes.This paper presents a quantitative psychometric tool to account for these related conceptualizations of organizational compassion.Validation of a quantitative organizational compassion measure constitutes a significant contribution to the literature that will open up many more research opportunities.
