Work-related sense of coherence (Work-SoC) is defined as the perceived comprehensibility, manageability and meaningfulness of an individual's work situation. The purpose of this study was to investigate the factor structure, invariance, reliability, and validity of the Polish version of the Work-SoC Scale.
The research was carried out between September and November 2023 in a diverse sample of employees. Factor structure, internal consistency, and measurement equivalence analysis were performed on sample N1 = 622. Criterion validity was checked on sample N2 = 255. Temporal stability was checked on sample N3 = 60 using the test-retest method.
A three-factor solution was the best fit for the data, and invariant across sex, age, occupational group, and education. The Work-SoC was strongest in white-collar workers. Strength of Work-SoC was positively related to seniority (r = 0.23, p < 0.001). The reliability of the Work-SoC Scale was high (α = 0.84, ω = 0.84). Work-SoC was positively correlated with general SoC (r = 0.36, p < 0.001) and job satisfaction (r = 0.50, p < 0.001), and negatively correlated with job burnout (r = -0.32, p < 0.001). The temporal stability of the measurement for the overall scale was high (r = 0.80, p < 0.001).
The Polish adaptation of the Work-SoC Scale has an identical structure and is as reliable as the original version. The high criterion validity, measurement stability, and the invariant structure of the scale by sex, age, occupational group, and education suggest that the Work-SoC Scale is a valuable tool for future research on employee health.
工作相关的凝聚力（Work-SoC）被定义为个体工作环境的可理解性、可管理性和有意义性。本研究的目的是调查波兰版工作相关凝聚力量表的结构、不变性、信度和效度。
研究于 2023 年 9 月至 11 月在不同员工样本中进行。在样本 N1=622 中进行了因素结构、内部一致性和测量等效性分析。在样本 N2=255 中检查了效标效度。使用测试-重测法在样本 N3=60 中检查了时间稳定性。
三因素解决方案最适合数据，并且在性别、年龄、职业群体和教育方面不变。工作相关的凝聚力在白领员工中最强。工作相关的凝聚力与资历呈正相关（r=0.23，p<0.001）。工作相关的凝聚力量表的信度很高（α=0.84，ω=0.84）。工作相关的凝聚力与一般的凝聚力（r=0.36，p<0.001）和工作满意度（r=0.50，p<0.001）呈正相关，与工作倦怠（r=-0.32，p<0.001）呈负相关。整体量表的测量时间稳定性较高（r=0.80，p<0.001）。
波兰版工作相关的凝聚力量表具有相同的结构，与原始版本一样可靠。高的效标效度、测量稳定性以及性别、年龄、职业群体和教育方面不变的结构表明，工作相关的凝聚力量表是未来员工健康研究的有价值的工具。
