I'm working in a Qualitative Comparative Analysis carrying out two variants: csQCA and fsQCA. The main Idea is to compare companies taking into account constructs base on its actions, for example, there is a Construct: Signs of Distrust, in this context, the main problem is How we can measure the Distrust in a company without alternatives such as structural equations models?

Base on literature, we identified some bad practices or "symptoms" related to Distrust: 1) No two-way communication, 2) Attack internal and external enemies, 3) Lack of transparency, 4) Discredit community representatives, etc. So, in order to assign a Distrust values to each company, we propose to count the number of "bad practices" and that obtained value is the Construct value.

Do you know articles that present a similar idea? On the other hand, do you know of any related document in another area as medicine that can help me?

If you know, I truly appreciate if you can share with me those papers.

Thanks in advance for your help,

Greetings!
