Work fatigue represents an essential construct for understanding employee health and safety. In this study, we developed and explored the psychometric properties of a German version of the Three-Dimensional Work Fatigue Inventory and examined a set of hypothesized correlates of work fatigue. Data came from a sample of 439 German workers. Consistent with the original measure, confirmatory factor analyses supported a three-factor solution (physical, mental, and emotional work fatigue), and estimates of internal consistency reliability exceeded .90 for each dimension of work fatigue. The measure demonstrated a meaningful pattern of associations with predictors (time pressure, job control, psychological detachment, relaxation, and trait negative and positive affect) and an important outcome (work engagement). The German Three-Dimensional Work Fatigue Inventory will encourage research on an essential construct for employee health and safety using broader populations of workers.
工作疲劳是理解员工健康和安全的一个重要构建。在这项研究中，我们开发并探索了三维工作疲劳量表的德文版本的心理测量特性，并检验了工作疲劳的一系列假设相关因素。数据来自 439 名德国工人的样本。与原始测量一致，验证性因素分析支持三因素解决方案（身体、心理和情绪工作疲劳），每个工作疲劳维度的内部一致性可靠性估计值均超过 0.90。该测量方法与预测因素（时间压力、工作控制、心理解脱、放松以及特质消极和积极情绪）以及重要结果（工作投入）表现出有意义的关联模式。德国三维工作疲劳量表将鼓励使用更广泛的工人群体对员工健康和安全的重要构建进行研究。
