This study validated an adapted measure of organisational energy, namely the Energy Scapes Profile (ESP), in the South African context, considering also possible differences in perceptions of organisational energy by the participants' demographics. Participants were a convenience sample of 304 employees (females = 75.4%; Black Ethnic Group = 62%). Factor analysis resulted in a unidimensional organizational energy factor. Anova analyses showed that the senior managers and those with longer tenure perceived organisational energy on their job level and years in current job. The results of the research confirm the utility of the ESP as a measure of organisational energy in South Africa
