Work-related psychosocial stressors have been recognized as occupational hazards and assessed in workplaces in many countries for decades. Identifying tools to measure work-related psychosocial hazards to increase awareness in the United States about the impact on employees' health and safety is critical ( J Occup Environ Med. 2021;63:e245-e249).
We describe the development and psychometric validation of an online tool, the Healthy Work Survey, utilizing items from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health Quality of Work Life questionnaire.
There are 55 items in the final core work section of the HWS. Factor analyses confirmed nine factors, and the subsequent multi-item scales had acceptable internal consistency. A user-friendly, online system and automated report compares individual's and organization's scores to distributions from a representative US working population (General Social Survey Quality of Work Life).
The HWS is a reliable, valid tool for organizations and individuals to assess psychosocial work hazards.
几十年来,职业相关的心理社会压力源已被许多国家视为职业危害,并在工作场所进行评估。确定用于测量工作相关心理社会危害的工具,以提高美国对其对员工健康和安全影响的认识至关重要(J Occup Environ Med. 2021;63:e245-e249)。
我们描述了一种在线工具的开发和心理测量验证,即健康工作调查,该工具利用了国家职业安全与健康研究所工作生活质量问卷中的项目。
HWS 的最终核心工作部分有 55 个项目。因子分析证实了九个因素,随后的多项目量表具有可接受的内部一致性。一个用户友好的在线系统和自动化报告将个人和组织的分数与来自代表性美国工作人群(综合社会调查工作生活质量)的分布进行比较。
HWS 是组织和个人评估心理社会工作危害的可靠、有效的工具。
