# Perceived Institutional Support Scale — Item Draft

**Construct:** Perceived institutional support (PIS)
**Format:** 5-point Likert (1 = strongly disagree, 5 = strongly agree)

## Positively keyed items

1. My institution provides the resources I need to do my work effectively.
2. Senior leadership actively backs faculty initiatives in my department.
3. I receive timely recognition for my contributions at this institution.

## Reverse-coded items (labelled for scoring reversal)

4. [REVERSE] My institution leaves me without the resources I need.
5. [REVERSE] I find my work intrinsically meaningful, regardless of
   institutional support.

**Scoring note:** Items 4 and 5 are reverse-coded. Subtract each from 6
before summing with items 1–3 to produce the PIS composite score.
