Over the past two decades, the Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire (COPSOQ) has been established as a valid instrument to measure psychosocial stress at work. Currently, the COPSOQ international network is responsible for monitoring and improving the COPSOQ. In 2019, a new questionnaire was published, and the Greek version is now being validated. The aim of the current study was to assess the reliability and validity of the psychometric properties of the Greek long version of the Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire III (COPSOQ-III-GR).
The measurement qualities of the Greek COPSOQ III have been explored in accordance with the usual requirements of a validation study, as defined by DIN EN ISO 10075-3. A sample of observations from 2189 participants surveyed with the COPSOQ in Greece was used to validate the current version with appropriate statistical analyses. Exploratory factor analysis was used to assess the statistical relationships for many scales.
With its 108 items and 40 scales, the Greek COPSOQ III includes all internationally validated psychosocial workplace factors that remain comparable (~72%) with the COPSOQ III German version content. In addition to the primary results, congruence with widely used theoretical approaches such as the demand-control (-support) model (DCM) or the job demands-resources model (JDR) is generally satisfactory. In summary, our validation study for the Greek COPSOQ III version showed adequate reliability and validity, which is in line with the findings of the COPSOQ III questionnaire from other European countries, and it is also compatible with the validation of the German COPSOQ III. Our regression analysis revealed that 34 psychosocial workplace factors (34 "context" scales) could adequately predict the scores of the satisfactory and health scales (6 "outcome" scales). The analysis also revealed the top five predictors (context variables) for each of the six "effect" scales (outcome variables).
With the launch of COPSOQ III in Greece, current and new workplace psychosocial aspects could be explored, since COPSOQ III (GR) appears to be a valid and reliable instrument for enterprise research and risk assessment.
在过去二十年中，哥本哈根心理社会问卷（COPSOQ）已成为衡量工作中心理社会压力的有效工具。目前，COPSOQ国际网络负责监测和改进COPSOQ。2019年发布了一份新问卷，希腊语版本正在进行效度验证。本研究的目的是评估希腊语长版哥本哈根心理社会问卷III（COPSOQ-III-GR）心理测量特性的信度和效度。
按照DIN EN ISO 10075-3规定的效度研究通常要求，探索希腊语COPSOQ III的测量质量。使用在希腊对2189名参与者进行COPSOQ调查的观察样本，通过适当的统计分析来验证当前版本。探索性因素分析用于评估多个量表的统计关系。
希腊语COPSOQ III有108个项目和40个量表，涵盖了所有国际上经过效度验证的工作场所心理社会因素，与COPSOQ III德语版本的内容仍有约72%的可比性。除了主要结果外，与广泛使用的理论方法如需求-控制（-支持）模型（DCM）或工作需求-资源模型（JDR）的一致性总体上令人满意。总之，我们对希腊语COPSOQ III版本的效度研究显示出足够的信度和效度，这与其他欧洲国家的COPSOQ III问卷的结果一致，也与德语COPSOQ III的效度验证兼容。我们的回归分析表明，34个工作场所心理社会因素（34个“背景”量表）可以充分预测满意度和健康量表（6个“结果”量表）的得分。分析还揭示了六个“效应”量表（结果变量）中每个量表的前五大预测因素（背景变量）。
随着COPSOQ III在希腊的推出，可以探索当前和新的工作场所心理社会方面，因为COPSOQ III（GR）似乎是企业研究和风险评估的有效且可靠的工具。
