Psychosocial stressors at work have been identified as significant risk factors for several mental and physical health problems. These stressors must be compensated by psychosocial resources to prevent or reduce adverse effects on health. Questionnaires measuring these stressors and resources already exist, but none integrate digital stress, ethical culture, and psychosocial safety climate; factors that are increasingly linked to workers' health. This study aims to develop and establish the psychometric properties of one of the most comprehensive instruments measuring the psychosocial work environment to date: the Occupational Health and Well-being Questionnaire (OHWQ).
A cross-sectional validation study is proposed to develop the OHWQ and document its psychometric properties.
The OHWQ was developed from validated instruments to which new items were added. The questionnaire includes psychosocial dimensions, along with indicators of psychological distress, musculoskeletal disorders, and well-being. It was administered to a sample of 2770 participants from a population working in the academic field. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses and the calculation of Cronbach's α coefficient were used to identify the variables, items, and, dimensions of the OHWQ and to document its main psychometric properties.
The acceptability of the measurement model was evaluated by the reliability of the items, internal consistency between the items, and the convergent and discriminant validity. Construct validity was assessed using exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses. Using factor analyses and cut-off rules, the new instrument has 124 items grouped into 22 dimensions. The OHWQ demonstrated satisfactory reliability and validity, as well as reasonable fit indices. The internal consistency of the scales was also good (Cronbach's α = 0.68-0.96, median = 0.85).
The OHWQ demonstrated good psychometric properties. It could be useful for both research purposes and for workplaces interested in developing concrete action plans aimed at improving the balance between psychosocial work stressors and resources.
工作中的心理社会压力源已被确定为许多心理和身体健康问题的重要危险因素。这些压力源必须通过心理社会资源来补偿，以防止或减少对健康的不利影响。已经存在测量这些压力源和资源的问卷，但没有一个问卷综合了数字压力、伦理文化和心理社会安全氛围；这些因素与工人的健康越来越相关。本研究旨在开发并建立迄今为止测量心理社会工作环境的最全面工具之一的心理测量特性：职业健康和幸福感问卷（OHWQ）。
提出了一项横断面验证研究，以开发 OHWQ 并记录其心理测量特性。
OHWQ 是从经过验证的工具开发而来的，其中添加了新的项目。该问卷包括心理社会维度，以及心理困扰、肌肉骨骼疾病和幸福感的指标。它被施用于来自学术领域工作人群的 2770 名参与者的样本。使用探索性和验证性因素分析以及 Cronbach's α 系数的计算，确定 OHWQ 的变量、项目和维度，并记录其主要心理测量特性。
通过项目的可靠性、项目之间的内部一致性以及收敛和区分效度，评估测量模型的可接受性。使用探索性和验证性因素分析评估结构效度。使用因子分析和截止规则，新仪器有 124 个项目分为 22 个维度。OHWQ 表现出令人满意的可靠性和有效性，以及合理的拟合指数。量表的内部一致性也很好（Cronbach's α = 0.68-0.96，中位数 = 0.85）。
OHWQ 表现出良好的心理测量特性。它可用于研究目的以及对感兴趣的工作场所，以制定旨在改善心理社会工作压力源与资源之间平衡的具体行动计划。
