Transformational leadership and employee psychological well-being: The mediating role of employee trust in leadership (2012, background): “Employee psychological well-being was indicated by the four subscales (high pleasure-high arousal, high pleasure-low arousal; low pleasure-high arousal; low pleasure-low arousal) of the Job-Related Affective Well-Being Scale (Van Katwyk, Fox, Spector, & Kelloway, 2000 ).”
Shared Authentic Leadership and New Venture Performance (2012, methodology): “Given the importance of negative emotions for survival situations and their detrimental impact on team performance (Cole et al., 2008), we gauged negative team affective tone (a = .83) by adapting three items (reflecting unpleasant high-arousal emotions) from the JAWS (Van Katwyk et al., 2000).”

Social distance as a moderator of the effects of transformational leadership: Both neutralizer and enhancer (2009, background): “The JAWS contains 30 statements developed to assess a variety of emotional reactions experienced while at work; we chose to include the 20 emotions identified by Van Katwyk et al. (2000) as being the most ‘extreme items’ (p. 225).”
The job demands–resources model and counterproductive work behaviour: The role of job-related affect (2011, methodology): “Research aimed at understanding the role of job-related affect has increased relatively recently (Totterdal, Wall, Holman, Diamond, & Epitropaki, 2004 ; van Katwyk, Fox, Spector, & Kelloway, 2000 ), and it is usually restricted to negative affect (eg, Fox et al, 2001 ), although this is only half”
