Job satisfaction has been increasingly regarded as an important outcome of vocational rehabilitation programs among people with mental illness. Chinese measures of job satisfaction for individuals with mental illness are however extremely scarce. The aim of this study was to translate the 32-item Indiana Job Satisfaction Scale to Chinese. By means of the expert panel method, the culturally relevant 28-item Chinese Version of Indiana Job Satisfaction Scale (CV-IJSS) was then finalized. A validation study among a group of 125 individuals with mental illness showed that the scale had acceptable psychometric properties. Coefficient alpha of the total score was 0.81 with subscales ranging from 0.63 to 0.87. Test re-test reliability as measured by ICC was 0.77 for the total score and ranged from 0.54 to 0.72 for the subscales. Factorial analysis yielded a four factor solution (general satisfaction, job ambiguity and stress, advancement and security, and job recognition) accounting for 44% of the total variance. The factor solution had similarities as well as differences when compared with the Indiana Job Satisfaction Scale. The differences are discussed in the light of cultural differences. Relationship between scores of CV-IJSS and work performance, quality of life and self-esteem was positive in general which may act as evidence to its concurrent validity. The Chinese Version of Indiana Job Satisfaction Scale is ready for use by rehabilitation professionals to assess vocational rehabilitation outcome for individuals with mental illness in Hong Kong and other Chinese societies. Directions for further studies are suggested.
工作满意度越来越被视为精神疾病患者职业康复项目的一项重要成果。然而，针对精神疾病患者的中文工作满意度测评工具极为匮乏。本研究旨在将32项的印第安纳工作满意度量表翻译成中文。通过专家小组法，最终确定了具有文化相关性的28项中文版印第安纳工作满意度量表（CV-IJSS）。对一组125名精神疾病患者进行的效度研究表明，该量表具有可接受的心理测量学特性。总分的α系数为0.81，各分量表的α系数在0.63至0.87之间。用组内相关系数（ICC）衡量的重测信度，总分是0.77，各分量表在0.54至0.72之间。因子分析得出一个四因子结构（总体满意度、工作模糊性与压力、晋升与保障、工作认可度），解释了总方差的44%。与印第安纳工作满意度量表相比，该因子结构既有相似之处也有不同之处。结合文化差异对这些不同之处进行了讨论。CV-IJSS得分与工作绩效、生活质量和自尊之间的关系总体呈正相关，这可作为其同时效度的证据。中文版印第安纳工作满意度量表可供康复专业人员用于评估香港及其他华人社会中精神疾病患者的职业康复成果。文中还提出了进一步研究的方向。
