We translated the micromanagement measurement for validation and conducted content validity analysis. The preliminary study has showed that the subfactor structure of the instrument items was verified. In the main study with 392 individuals from Korean employees. Our analysis included factor analysis, reliability analysis, and Rasch model. The results indicated that one item with a low factor loading was removed, leaving the measurement of 14 items in four factors. The study revealed a significant association between micromanagement and organizational silence, as well as passive aggression in Korean organizations. We discuss the expected interpretations, practical applications and theoretical implications. Based on the findings, theoretical and practical implications were further discussed.
