Abstract

Abstract: This research aims to develop a 15-item short form of the WOQ (WOQ-SF) and provide evidence for its reliability and validity. In Study 1 ( N = 305), we simplified the WOQ into a short version in line with the scale reduction procedure and recommendations ( Kruyen et al., 2013 ; Stanton et al., 2002 ). The exploratory factor analysis (EFA) reveals that the five factors of the WOQ-SF are conceptually distinct and correlated with each other. In Study 2 ( N = 442), the psychometric properties of the WOQ-SF were investigated. The findings of the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) confirm a good factor structure. In addition, the measurement invariance of this shortened scale was examined across gender, age, education level, and job tenure. Regarding validity, significant correlations between the WOQ-SF and the original WOQ were found. Furthermore, the WOQ-SF demonstrates relationships with career satisfaction, work engagement, job satisfaction, and career planning, providing evidence for its validity. In sum, the WOQ-SF shows good psychometric properties comparable to the WOQ, suggesting it is a suitable alternative.

工作取向问卷简表（WOQ-SF）的开发与验证

摘要：本研究旨在开发一个包含15个项目的WOQ简表（WOQ-SF），并为其信度和效度提供证据。在研究 1（N = 305）中，我们根据量表缩减程序和建议（Kruyen 等人，2013；Stanton 等人，2002）将 WOQ 简化为简表。探索性因子分析（EFA）显示，WOQ-SF 的五个因子在概念上是不同的，并且相互关联。研究 2（N = 442）调查了 WOQ-SF 的心理测量特性。确认性因子分析（CFA）的结果证实了WOQ-SF具有良好的因子结构。此外，研究还考察了这一缩短量表在不同性别、年龄、教育水平和工作任期之间的测量不变性。在效度方面，WOQ-SF 与原 WOQ 之间存在明显的相关性。此外，WOQ-SF 与职业满意度、工作投入度、工作满意度和职业规划都有关系，为其有效性提供了证据。总之，WOQ-SF 显示出了与 WOQ 相当的良好心理测量特性，表明它是一种合适的替代方法。

期刊介绍： The main purpose of the EJPA is to present important articles which provide seminal information on both theoretical and applied developments in this field. Articles reporting the construction of new measures or an advancement of an existing measure are given priority. The journal is directed to practitioners as well as to academicians: The conviction of its editors is that the discipline of psychological assessment should, necessarily and firmly, be attached to the roots of psychological science, while going deeply into all the consequences of its applied, practice-oriented development.
