This study reports on the psychometric properties of the 11-item Perceived Wellness Culture and Environment Support Scale (PWCESS) and its relationship with employee healthy lifestyle beliefs and behaviors.
Faculty and staff (N = 3959) at a large public university in the United States mid-west completed the PWCESS along with healthy lifestyle beliefs and behaviors scales. Data were randomly split into 2 halves to explore the PWCESS' validity and reliability and the second half to confirm findings.
Principal components analysis indicated a unidimensional construct. The PWCESS was positively related to healthy lifestyle beliefs and behaviors supporting the scale's validity. Confirmatory factor analysis supported the unidimensional construct (Cronbach's α = .92).
Strong evidence supports the validity and reliability of the PWCESS. Future use of this scale could guide workplace intervention strategies to improve organizational wellness culture and employee health outcomes.
本研究报告了11项感知健康文化与环境支持量表(PWCESS)的心理测量特性及其与员工健康生活方式信念和行为的关系。
美国中西部一所大型公立大学的教职员工(N = 3959)完成了PWCESS以及健康生活方式信念和行为量表。数据被随机分成两半,以探索PWCESS的有效性和可靠性,另一半用于确认研究结果。
主成分分析表明该量表具有单维结构。PWCESS与健康生活方式信念和行为呈正相关,支持了该量表的有效性。验证性因素分析支持了单维结构(Cronbach's α = .92)。
有力证据支持PWCESS的有效性和可靠性。该量表的未来应用可为工作场所干预策略提供指导,以改善组织健康文化和员工健康状况。
