Work engagement is a factor that has key influence on learning outcomes for college students. The psychometric properties of the Korean version of the 17-item Utrecht work engagement scale for students (UWES-S) survey have yet to be determined. The purpose of this study was to test the reliability and validity of the Korean version of the 17-item UWES-S among Korean college students. A total of 248 college students were recruited from three universities in South Korea. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS and the Mplus program. Among 248 college students, the mean age was 21.19 years, and 87.5% of the students were female. Reliability was deemed satisfactory by Cronbach’s alpha 0.940, McDonald’s omega 0.941, and composite reliability 0.941. Construct validity was supported by confirmatory factor analysis results (CFI = 0.93, TLI = 0.91, SRMR = 0.05, RMSEA = 0.08). Convergent validity was supported by the significant relationship between academic engagement and burnout (r = −0.344, p < 0.001). Our findings showed that the Korean version of the 17-item UWES-S was a reliable and valid instrument. This instrument can be used to assess and improve work engagement in college students.
工作投入是对大学生学习成果有关键影响的一个因素。针对学生的17项乌得勒支工作投入量表（UWES-S）韩语版调查的心理测量特性尚未确定。本研究的目的是在韩国大学生中检验17项UWES-S韩语版的信度和效度。从韩国三所大学招募了248名大学生。使用IBM SPSS和Mplus程序对数据进行分析。在248名大学生中，平均年龄为21.19岁，87.5%的学生为女性。克朗巴哈α系数为0.940、麦克唐纳ω系数为0.941、组合信度为0.941，表明信度令人满意。验证性因素分析结果支持了结构效度（CFI = 0.93，TLI = 0.91，SRMR = 0.05，RMSEA = 0.08）。学业投入与倦怠之间的显著关系支持了收敛效度（r = -0.344，p < 0.001）。我们的研究结果表明，17项UWES-S韩语版是一种可靠且有效的工具。该工具可用于评估和提高大学生的工作投入。
