The capability set for work questionnaire (CSWQ) is being used to measure the new model of sustainable employability building on the capability approach. However, previous studies on the psychometric properties of the instrument are limited and cross-sectional. This two-way study aimed to (1) evaluate the convergent validity of the CSWQ with the theoretically related constructs person-job fit, strengths use, and opportunity to craft and (2) test the predictive and incremental validity of the questionnaire for the well-established work outcomes, including work ability, work engagement, job satisfaction, and task performance.
A representative sample of 303 Dutch workers, chosen with probably random sampling, were surveyed using a one-month follow-up, cross-lagged design via the Longitudinal Internet Studies for the Social Sciences panel. The convergent validity was assessed by exploring the strength of associations between the capability set for work questionnaire and the theoretically related constructs using Pearson's correlations. The predictive and incremental validity was evaluated by performing a series of linear hierarchical regression analyses.
We found evidence of the convergent validity of the capability set score by moderate correlations with person-job fit, strengths use, and opportunity to craft (r = 0.51-0.52). A series of multiple regression analyses showed that Time 1 capability set score and its constituents (i.e., importance, ability, and enablement) generally had predictive and incremental validity for work ability, work engagement, job satisfaction, and task performance measured at Time 2. However, the incremental power of the CSWQ over and above conceptually related constructs was modest.
The findings support the convergent, predictive, and incremental validity of the capability set for work questionnaire with not previously investigated work constructs. This provided further evidence to support its utility for assessing a worker's sustainable employability for future research and practical interventions.
能力工作问卷(CSWQ)正被用于衡量基于能力方法的新的可持续就业能力建设模式。然而,该工具的心理测量学特性的先前研究是有限的和横截面的。本双向研究旨在:(1)评估 CWSQ 与理论上相关的构念(人职匹配、优势使用和机会塑造)的聚合效度;(2)检验问卷对已确立的工作结果(包括工作能力、工作投入、工作满意度和任务绩效)的预测和增量效度。
通过纵向互联网社会科学面板进行为期一个月的随访交叉滞后设计,对一个有代表性的 303 名荷兰工人样本进行了调查。使用 Pearson 相关系数来评估能力工作问卷与理论上相关的构念之间的关联强度,从而评估聚合效度。通过一系列线性层次回归分析来评估预测和增量效度。
我们发现,能力集分数与工作人职匹配、优势使用和机会塑造(r=0.51-0.52)之间存在中等程度的相关性,这表明了能力集分数的聚合效度。一系列多元回归分析表明,第一时间的能力集分数及其组成部分(即重要性、能力和使能)通常对第二时间测量的工作能力、工作投入、工作满意度和任务绩效具有预测和增量效度。然而,CSWQ 超过概念上相关的构念的增量效力是适度的。
这些发现支持了能力工作问卷的聚合、预测和增量效度,涉及到以前未被调查过的工作构念。这为其在评估未来研究和实际干预措施中工人的可持续就业能力方面的效用提供了进一步的证据。
