Thriving from Work is defined as the state of positive mental, physical, and social functioning in which workers' experiences of their work and working conditions enable them to thrive in their overall lives, contributing to their ability to achieve their full potential at work, at home, and in the community. The purpose of this study was to develop a psychometrically-sound questionnaire measuring the positive contribution that work can have on one's well-being both at, and outside of, their work.
We used both a qualitative and quantitative approach of item reduction, domain mapping dimensionality testing, development of "long-" and "short-" versions of the questionnaire, reliability, and construct and criterion validity testing. This was established in two independent online samples of US based workers (n = 1550, n = 500).
We developed a bi-factor model 30-item long-form and a uni-factorial 8-item short-version. The long-form measures both the latent construct of Thriving from Work and six domains (psychological/emotional; work-life integration; social; experience of work; basic needs; health). Both long- and short- forms were found to have high empirical reliability (0.93 and 0.87 respectively). The short-form captures 94% of variance of the long-form. Construct and criterion validity were supported. Test-retest reliability was high.
The Thriving from Work Questionnaire appears to be a valid and reliable measure of work-related well-being in United States workers. Further testing is needed to refine and test the instrument in specific industries, unique worker populations, and across geographic regions.
工作中蓬勃发展被定义为一种积极的心理、身体和社会功能状态，在这种状态下，员工对工作和工作条件的体验使他们能够在整体生活中蓬勃发展，有助于他们在工作、家庭和社区中充分发挥潜力。本研究的目的是开发一份心理测量学上合理的问卷，以衡量工作对个人工作时和工作之外幸福感的积极贡献。
我们采用了定性和定量相结合的方法，包括项目缩减、领域映射维度测试、问卷“长版”和“短版”的开发、信度、结构效度和效标效度测试。这是在美国两个独立的在线员工样本（n = 1550，n = 500）中进行的。
我们开发了一个双因素模型的30项长版问卷和一个单因素的8项短版问卷。长版问卷测量了工作中蓬勃发展的潜在结构以及六个领域（心理/情感；工作与生活的融合；社会；工作体验；基本需求；健康）。长版和短版问卷都具有较高的实证信度（分别为0.93和0.87）。短版问卷能够解释长版问卷94%的方差。结构效度和效标效度得到了支持。重测信度较高。
工作中蓬勃发展问卷似乎是衡量美国员工工作相关幸福感的有效且可靠的工具。需要进一步测试，以在特定行业、独特的员工群体以及不同地理区域对该工具进行完善和检验。
