Do I need to report Cronbach's alpha?
If you are using a multi-item scale, almost certainly yes, and it should be computed on your own sample rather than quoted from the original validation study. If alpha is low, report it and discuss it rather than omitting it.
This comes up on SPSS Support and Analysis Help, where it is answered in the context of the work itself.
