Attention to emotions is growing in workplaces. To address this interest, new psychological instruments have been developed to assess the emotional states of individuals at work. The Work-Related Affective Feelings (WORAF) Scale is a new psychological tool for measuring four main emotions: happiness, anxiety, anger, and dejection at work.
To determine psychometric properties of the Farsi version of the WORAF Scale in Iran.
This research employed a cross-sectional research design. The sample consisted of 514 people (250 females and 264 males). We collected data using the Work-Related Affective Feelings Scale, the Job-Related Affective Well-Being Scale, and the Ten-Item Personality Inventory. Confirmatory Factor Analysis was used to check the factorial structure of this scale. The Pearson correlation coefficient and Cronbach's alpha were analyzed using SPSS version 26 and R software version 4.2.
The model fit indices suggested satisfactory fit for the final models as CFI = .907, TLI = .904, NFI = .907, IFI = .907, X/ = 3.809, RMR = .055, and RMSEA = .079. The Cronbach's alpha of the scale was .87 and values ranging from .73 to .92 confirmed the reliability of the WORAF. The Pearson correlation analysis revealed a statistically significant relationship between this scale and similar scales, verifying the convergent validity of this scale and similar scales.
The findings provide empirical support and introduce the WORAF Scale as a valid and reliable scale translated and validated in Iran. The Farsi version of this scale can measure four major emotions of individuals in Iranian workplaces. This scale can be used by Iranian researchers as well as by organizational practitioners to measure, identify, and improve the emotions employees experience in their workplaces. Considering the large number of employees in the private and public sectors in Iran, this scale can be useful.
工作场所中对情绪的关注度日益提高。为满足这一需求，已开发出新的心理测量工具来评估个体在工作中的情绪状态。工作相关情感感受（WORAF）量表是一种用于测量工作中四种主要情绪的新心理工具：幸福、焦虑、愤怒和沮丧。
确定WORAF量表波斯语版本在伊朗的心理测量特性。
本研究采用横断面研究设计。样本包括514人（250名女性和264名男性）。我们使用工作相关情感感受量表、工作相关情感幸福感量表和十项人格量表收集数据。验证性因素分析用于检验该量表的因子结构。使用SPSS 26版和R软件4.2版分析皮尔逊相关系数和克朗巴哈系数。
模型拟合指数表明最终模型拟合良好，CFI = 0.907，TLI = 0.904，NFI = 0.907，IFI = 0.907，χ² = 3.809，RMR = 0.055，RMSEA = 0.079。该量表的克朗巴哈系数为0.87，0.73至0.92的值证实了WORAF的可靠性。皮尔逊相关分析显示该量表与类似量表之间存在统计学上的显著关系，验证了该量表和类似量表的收敛效度。
研究结果提供了实证支持，并将WORAF量表作为在伊朗翻译和验证的有效可靠量表进行了介绍。该量表的波斯语版本可以测量伊朗工作场所中个体的四种主要情绪。伊朗研究人员以及组织从业者可以使用该量表来测量、识别和改善员工在工作场所所体验的情绪。考虑到伊朗私营和公共部门员工数量众多，该量表可能会很有用。
