# DGov Score Framework Rating Instrument_Full *For Framework Version 0.5* @ledgerback @char ###### tags: dgov, governance, blockchain, DAO, digital organizations, decentralized digital organizations, digitalization, organization design, organization effectiveness, organization management, organization dimensions, decentralization, participative, decision-making, collaborative, cooperatives, collectives, associations --- ## Table of Contents [TOC] --- ## Current Step Reformatting the questions. Reducing questions to ~40-60 ## Purpose Instrument for rating DGov-related organizations utilizing the DGov Score Framework V0.5's intra-firm modules. This instrument will produce a rating (i.e., a score) for DGov organizations based on the following intra-firm modules: - Organization Effectiveness; and - Universal Problems of Organizing. The instrument will primarily be based on likert-scale, multiple-choice, and *n*-point questions. ***Might need to remove some of the OrgEffectivenss-related questions*** ## Instructions 1. Only one answer per question unless stated otherwise. 2. Refer to the Definitions section if a term is unclear. 3. Only refer to the terms as defined in Definitions. Do not refer to any third party source for the definition of a term already defined in this instrument. ## Definitions |Term| Definition| |----|-----------| |Department| business units dedicated to a specific client, specilaization, or line of business| |Vertical Relationships:| |Horizontal Relationships: |Hierarchial: |Decision-making power: |Joining Rate| the rate at which Newcomers join the Organization on a yearly basis (i.e., Newcomers per year)| |Organization| the specific organization of interest you are referring to as you answer the questions in the Questionnaire. |Member| an individual or organization that is a member (e.g., employee, corporate officer, etc.) of the Organization. |Manager| is an individual or organization that is a member of the Organization, usually involved in system-level decision-making, and has one or more subordinates. |Network Congestion| when the network becomes congested with too many transactions and the transaction fees and/or completion time of transactions is higher than usual| |Newcomer| is an individual or organization that recently joined the Organization. |Principle-agency Problem| First, ensuring that agents act in the best interest of the principle, which are the owners of the Organization, instead of the agent's own private interests. Second, reducing the information asymmetry between agent-managers and the principal-owners| ## Instrument Categories: **** 1. Organization IdealType 2.
