The strengths-based inclusive theory of work and psychology of working theory propose that fulfilling work is a key outcome of the vocational intervention. Scholars have further argued that fulfilling work is the holistic experience of well-being in the workplace and can be assessed with meaningful work, work engagement, workplace positive emotions, and job satisfaction. This theoretical perspective suggests a bifactor model would best explain the relations among these variables, but this claim remains untested. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate whether a bifactor model best explained the relations among the four components of fulfilling work, in comparison to other plausible models. We also examined the concurrent and convergent validity of the fulfilling work construct, using other well-being variables, symptoms of distress, and contextual factor variables drawn from vocational theories. Supporting hypotheses, we found that a bifactor model best fit the data. We also found that fulfilling work positively related to eudaimonic work well-being, hedonic work well-being, and life satisfaction and negatively related to symptoms of distress. Finally, fulfilling work positively related to income and subjective social class. These findings offer conceptual and statistical implications of fulfilling work for research, counseling, organizations, and social advocacy.

优势为本的工作与工作心理学理论提出，充实的工作是职业干预的关键结果。学者们进一步认为，充实的工作是工作场所整体幸福感的体验，可以通过有意义的工作、工作投入、工作场所积极情绪和工作满意度来评估。这一理论观点表明，双因素模型最能解释这些变量之间的关系，但这一说法尚未得到验证。因此，本研究的目的是探讨双因素模型是否最能解释充实工作的四个组成部分之间的关系，与其他合理的模型相比。我们还使用来自职业理论的其他幸福感变量、困扰症状和情境因素变量，考察了充实工作结构的同时效度和收敛效度。支持假设，我们发现双因素模型最适合数据。我们还发现，充实的工作与幸福的工作有积极的关系，包括自我实现的幸福感、享乐主义的幸福感和生活满意度，与困扰症状呈负相关。最后，充实的工作与收入和主观社会阶层呈正相关。这些发现为研究、咨询、组织和社会倡导提供了充实工作的概念和统计意义。(PsycInfo 数据库记录（c）2021 APA，保留所有权利)。
