Governments and employers aim to promote sustainable employability (SE) in aging societies. In the Netherlands, an instrument for capturing the employee perspective on SE, the MAastricht Instrument for Sustainable Employability (MAISE-NL), has recently been developed. This study seeks to validate the Italian version of the MAISE (MAISE-IT).
The MAISE-IT (a translated and culturally adapted version of the MAISE for the Italian population), the Work-Health Balance questionnaire and a demographic survey (age, gender, education, and occupational activity) were completed online by 455 respondents (328 public administration workers and 127 respondents recruited from social networks). Construct and criterion validity were tested by CFA; reliability, correlational analyses and subgroup differences with ANOVAs.
The CFA analysis revealed that the MAISE-IT consists of 12 scales distributed in four areas: (1) Meaning of SE; (2) Level and Factors affecting SE; (3) Overall responsibility for SE; and (4) Responsibility for factors affecting SE. Construct and criterion validity and reliability were good. Italian workers reported a moderately high level of SE. They regarded employers to be somewhat more responsible for SE than employees.
This study showed the validity of the MAISE-IT in the Italian context. The MAISE-IT is valuable for tapping employees' needs in order to develop SE interventions tailored to the employee perspective.
政府和雇主旨在促进老龄化社会中的可持续就业能力（SE）。在荷兰，一种用于捕捉员工对 SE 的看法的工具，即马斯特里赫特可持续就业能力仪器（MAISE-NL），最近已经开发出来。本研究旨在验证 MAISE 的意大利版本（MAISE-IT）。
MAISE-IT（MAISE 针对意大利人口的翻译和文化适应版本）、工作-健康平衡问卷和人口统计学调查（年龄、性别、教育程度和职业活动）由 455 名受访者（328 名公共管理工作人员和 127 名从社交网络招募的受访者）在线完成。通过 CFA 测试结构和标准有效性；可靠性、相关分析和方差分析的亚组差异。
CFA 分析表明，MAISE-IT 由 12 个量表组成，分布在四个领域：（1）SE 的意义；（2）影响 SE 的水平和因素；（3）对 SE 的总体责任；（4）对影响 SE 的因素的责任。结构和标准有效性和可靠性良好。意大利工人报告 SE 水平适中。他们认为雇主对 SE 的责任比员工稍大。
本研究表明 MAISE-IT 在意大利背景下具有有效性。MAISE-IT 对于挖掘员工的需求很有价值，以便为员工视角量身定制 SE 干预措施。
