This study is based on a 40-item work climate scale in hospital emergency services (WCSHES). Teams working in these emergency services experience a heavy workload and have a limited amount of time with each patient. COVID-19 has further complicated these existing issues. Therefore, we believed it would be helpful to draft an abridged version of the 40-item WCSHES, considering both validity and reliability criteria, but giving greater weight to validity. One hundred and twenty-six workers between the ages of 20 to 64 (M = 32.45; standard deviation (SD = 9.73)) years old participated voluntarily in the study. The validity, reliability, and fit model were evaluated in an iterative process. The confirmatory factor analysis yielded appropriate global fit indices in the abridged 24-item version ((248) = 367.84; < 0.01, RMSEA = 0.06 with an interval of 90% from 0.05 to 0.07, SRMR = 0.08, GFI = 0.9, AGFI = 0.96, CFI = 0.98, NFI = 0.95, and NNFI = 0.98), along with test criteria validity ( = 0.68, < 0.001) and excellent reliability (α = 0.94 and ω = 0.94), maintaining the same conceptualization and usefulness of the original scale. The abridged 24-item version was used to measure four work climate factors (work satisfaction, productivity/achievement of aims, interpersonal relations, and performance at work). Evidence of the usefulness of the new abridged scale is provided along with a description of our study limitations and future areas for development.
本研究基于医院急诊服务的 40 项工作环境量表（WCSHES）。在这些急诊服务中工作的团队面临着繁重的工作量，并且每个患者的时间有限。COVID-19 进一步加剧了这些现有问题。因此，我们认为考虑到有效性和可靠性标准，起草一个 40 项 WCSHES 的简化版本会有所帮助，但更注重有效性。126 名年龄在 20 至 64 岁之间的员工（M = 32.45；标准差（SD = 9.73））自愿参加了研究。在迭代过程中评估了有效性、可靠性和拟合模型。验证性因素分析得出了简化的 24 项版本（（248）= 367.84；<0.01，RMSEA = 0.06，置信区间为 0.05 至 0.07，SRMR = 0.08，GFI = 0.9，AGFI = 0.96，CFI = 0.98，NFI = 0.95，NNFI = 0.98）的适当总体拟合指数，以及测试标准有效性（= 0.68，<0.001）和极好的可靠性（α = 0.94 和 ω = 0.94），保持了原始量表的相同概念化和有用性。简化的 24 项版本用于测量四个工作环境因素（工作满意度、生产力/目标实现、人际关系和工作绩效）。提供了新简化量表的有用性证据，并描述了我们研究的局限性和未来的发展领域。
