: Sustainable employability (SE) is important for work organizations. Recently, the MAastricht Instrument for Sustainable Employability (MAISE-NL) was developed and validated. This study describes the development and validation of an adapted version of the MAISE-NL, the MAISE-Easy, which can be used for employees in low-skilled jobs. : The adaptation of the MAISE-NL was based on six focus groups with employees in low-skilled jobs in various sectors. The MAISE-Easy was distributed among employees in five organizations. The response rate ( = 1033) was 53%. Construct validity, reliability and criterion validity were analyzed by means of principal component analysis (PCA), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), Cronbach's alpha and correlational analyses. : The MAISE-Easy included 17 scales divided over four main areas: (1) level of SE; (2) factors affecting SE; (3) overall responsibility for SE; (4) responsibility for factors affecting SE. Construct validity, reliability and criterion validity were adequate to good. : The MAISE-Easy is a well-validated instrument for measuring SE among employees in low-skilled jobs in terms of the level of SE, factors affecting SE, responsibility for SE and responsibility for factors affecting SE. MAISE-Easy is recommended for both needs assessments and evaluation research in as yet underserved groups of low-skilled workers.
: 可持续就业能力（SE）对工作组织很重要。最近，开发并验证了马斯特里赫特可持续就业能力工具（MAISE-NL）。本研究描述了 MAISE-NL 的适应性版本，即 MAISE-Easy 的开发和验证，该版本可用于低技能工作的员工。: MAISE-NL 的适应性改编基于六个重点小组，这些小组的员工来自各个领域的低技能工作。MAISE-Easy 在五个组织中的员工中进行了分发。回复率（=1033）为 53%。通过主成分分析（PCA）、验证性因素分析（CFA）、Cronbach's alpha 和相关分析，对构念效度、信度和效标效度进行了分析。: MAISE-Easy 包括 17 个量表，分为四个主要领域：（1）SE 水平；（2）影响 SE 的因素；（3）SE 的总体责任；（4）影响 SE 的因素的责任。构念效度、信度和效标效度都在适当到良好的范围内。: MAISE-Easy 是一种经过良好验证的工具，用于衡量低技能工作者的 SE 水平、影响 SE 的因素、SE 的责任和影响 SE 的因素的责任。MAISE-Easy 建议在低技能工人的服务不足群体中进行需求评估和评估研究。
