Quality of working life has been shown to play a key role in reducing strain inside and outside the workplace, supporting the fulfillment of workers' wellbeing and increasing workforce productivity. Van Laar et al. in 2007 developed the Work-Related Quality of Life (WRQoL) scale that was applied to several different work environments and translated into nine languages.
We aimed to test and validate an Italian version of the WRQoL scale.
A cross-sectional design was conducted to collect a sample of healthcare professionals (N=430) in 8 hospitals in the Northwest of Italy. Internal consistency of each scale was tested through Cronbach's alpha. A Confirmatory factor analysis was performed. Independent samples t-tests and ANOVA were performed to determine whether the scores on the subscales differed according to various socio-demographic variables.
A seven factors structure was confirmed (Control at work; General well-being; Home-work interface; Stress at Work; Job and career satisfaction; Working conditions; Employee Engagement; χ2=682.453, p<.001; χ2 and df(251) ratio=2.71; CFI=.90; RMSEA=.06; SRMR=.06). All subdimensions showed Cronbach's alphas ≥ 0.70 but for Stress at Work (alpha 0.65). The subscales differentiated between groups of people according to several socio-demographic characteristics (i.e., profession, age, length of employment).
The Italian version of WRQoL is a brief and sufficiently reliable tool that can contribute to a more complex and complete evaluation of the psychological well-being at work due to its multidimensionality. Overall, the use of this tool in occupational health practice, in addition to that of other instruments already available, should prove useful in monitoring workers' well-being before and after interventions.
工作生活质量已被证明在减少工作内外压力方面发挥着关键作用，有助于满足员工的幸福感并提高劳动力生产力。Van Laar 等人于 2007 年开发了工作相关生活质量（WRQoL）量表，该量表已应用于多种不同的工作环境，并被翻译成九种语言。
我们旨在测试和验证 WRQoL 量表的意大利语版本。
采用横断面设计，在意大利西北部的 8 家医院收集了一组医疗保健专业人员（N=430）的样本。通过 Cronbach's alpha 测试每个量表的内部一致性。进行验证性因子分析。进行独立样本 t 检验和方差分析，以确定根据各种社会人口统计学变量，各分量表的得分是否存在差异。
证实了一个七因素结构（工作控制；一般幸福感；家庭-工作界面；工作压力；工作和职业满意度；工作条件；员工敬业度；χ2=682.453，p<.001；χ2 和 df(251) 比值=2.71；CFI=.90；RMSEA=.06；SRMR=.06）。所有分量表的 Cronbach's alpha 值均≥0.70，但工作压力分量表的 alpha 值为 0.65。根据一些社会人口统计学特征（即职业、年龄、工作年限），各分量表区分了人群。
WRQoL 的意大利语版本是一个简短且足够可靠的工具，由于其多维性，它可以促进对工作心理幸福感进行更复杂和完整的评估。总的来说，在职业健康实践中使用这种工具，除了已经可用的其他工具外，应该有助于在干预前后监测工人的幸福感。
