To present validity data for the Work Experience Measurement Scale (WEMS), an instrument measuring multifaceted work experience from a salutogenic health resource perspective as a contrast to the more common pathogenic risk perspective, by exploring WEMS relationship to established measurements that are positively related to health and work. A salutogenic perspective focuses on finding conditions and resources in life, for example at work, that can enhance the individual's health and strength, instead of those causing illness and weakness.
This study was carried out in 2009 at a Swedish hospital with a web-based survey (WEMS) to 770 employees. Different occupational groups at the hospital participated. Additional questionnaires used at the same time were the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES-9), the Salutogenic Health Indicator Scale (SHIS), the General Self-Efficacy scale (GSE), and three questions about self-rated health, general well-being, and quality of life.
Cronbach's Alpha of WEMS sub-indices were in the interval of 0.85-0.96. Convergent validity and discriminant validity of WEMS and its sub-indices were shown to be satisfying by correlations. In addition, WEMS demonstrated the ability to discriminate between groups. WEMS sub-indices discriminated even better between groups than the total index.
The WEMS proved to be a workplace health promotion questionnaire that was able to measure experiences of work from a salutogenic perspective. The WEMS has a potential of being a useful tool in workplace health promotion to enhance positive human capabilities and resources to improve work performance.
通过探索工作经验测量量表（WEMS）与已确立的、与健康和工作呈正相关的测量指标之间的关系，呈现该量表的效度数据。WEMS是一种从健康资源视角测量多方面工作经验的工具，与更常见的致病风险视角形成对比。健康资源视角侧重于在生活中，如工作中，寻找能够增强个体健康和力量的条件与资源，而非那些导致疾病和虚弱的因素。
2009年在一家瑞典医院开展了本研究，通过网络调查（WEMS）对770名员工进行了调查。医院的不同职业群体参与其中。同时使用的其他问卷包括乌得勒支工作投入量表（UWES - 9）、健康资源健康指标量表（SHIS）、一般自我效能量表（GSE），以及关于自评健康、总体幸福感和生活质量的三个问题。
WEMS子指标的克朗巴哈系数在0.85 - 0.96区间。通过相关性分析表明，WEMS及其子指标的收敛效度和区分效度令人满意。此外，WEMS展示了区分不同群体的能力。WEMS子指标在区分不同群体方面比总指标表现得更好。
WEMS被证明是一份能够从健康资源视角测量工作体验的职场健康促进问卷。WEMS有潜力成为职场健康促进中的一个有用工具，以增强积极的人类能力和资源，从而提高工作绩效。
