I am calculating the whistleblower policy disclosure score for 100 Listed firms in India. I took 31 questions under four categories and scored them 0, 1 & 2 on three-level
a) 2 points: If the company follows global best practices for that component
b) 1 point: If the company follows reasonable practices or meets the Indian standards
c) 0 point: If the company needs to improve in that area
Then I calculated the composite score.
A sample of the scoring procedure is attached as a file.
I conducted Cronbach's alfa and value is 0.5.
Is it acceptable?
