Menurut buku Research Methods for Business karangan Uma Sekaran and Roger Bougie,
reduction of abstract concepts to render them measurable in a tangible way is called
operationalizing the concepts.
Operational is necessary when we need to specify something to get certain objective. One
advantage is specificity. After operationalization, we should be able to determine whether
there is evidence for or against a given hypothesis.

There are four types of scales: nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio.
a. Nominal scale
A nominal scale is one that allows the researcher to assign subjects to certain categories
or groups. For example, with respect to the variable of gender, respondent can be
grouped into two categories – male and female. These two groups can be assigned code
numbers 1 and 2. These numbers serve as simpe and convenient category labels with no
intrinsic value, other than to assign respondent to one of two nononverlapping, or
mutually exclusive categories. Note that the categories are also collevtivley exhaustive.
In other words, there is no third category into which respondent would normally fall.
b. Ordinal Scale
An ordinal scale not only categorizes the variables in such a way as to denote differences
among the various categories, it also rank-orders the categories in some meaningful
way.
The ordinal scale helps the researcher to determine the percentage of respondent who
consider interaction with others as most important, those who consider using a number
of different skills as most important, and so on. Such knowledge might help in designing
jobs that are seen as most enriched by the majority of the employees.
c. Interval Scale
An interval scale allows us to perform certain arithmetical operations on the data
collected from the respondents. Whereas the nominal scale allows us only to
qualitatively distinguish groups by categorizing them into mutually exclusive and
collective exhausted sets, and the ordinal scale to rank-order the preferences, the
interval scale lets us measure the distance between any two points on the scale.
This help us to compute the means and the standard deviations of the responses on the
variables.
d. Ratio Scale
A ratio scale is an interval scale in which distances are stated with respect to a rational
zero rather than with respect to, for example, the mean" (Nunnally, 1967, p.14).
It is the most powerful of the four scale because it has a unique zero origin (not an
arbitrary origin) and subsumes all the properties of the other three scales.

Reflective scale
In a reflective scale, the items (all of them!) are expected to correlate. Unlike the items
used in a formative scale, discuss next, each item in a reflective scale is assumed to share
a common basis (the underlaying construct of interest). Hence, an increase in the value
of the construct will translate into an increase in the value for all the items representing
the construct.
Formative Scale
A formative scale is used when a construct is viewed as an explanatory caombination of
its indicators (Fornell & Bookstein, 1982; Fornell, 1987).
