I'm investigating the role played by anxiety (related to future performance, job security, etc.) in facing organizational change
A short scale by Caplan et al. that we have used measures anxiety, depression, and irritation. The anxiety items are:
I feel nervous
I feel jittery
I feel calm (reversed)
I feel fidgety
They used a 4-point scale:
1 = never or a little of the time
2 = some of the time
3 = a good part of the time
4 = most of the time
We changed to a 5-point scale for use in a specific time frame (e.g., past month) for Spector et al.:
1 = not at all
2 = once or twice in total
3 = once or twice per week
4 = almost every day
5 = every day

Bordia et al. 2004 developed a scale for this and you may find it in Google scholar.
