Abstract
Objectives: This study aims to define and assess communal and agentic workplace climates (AWC), 2 pivotal dimensions perceived by employees within organizational contexts. Communal workplace climate highlights employees' well-being, while AWC emphasizes productivity-related aspects.
Material and methods: To enhance comprehension, the Communal and Agentic Workplace Climate Scale (CAWCS) was created and validated through a series of studies. The research involved 4008 employees from diverse positions and organizations across Poland. Initially, a pool of 20 items was designed to reflect these dimensions, with exploratory factor analysis identifying a robust set of 12 items.
Results: Confirmatory factor analysis substantiated the 2-factor structure of CAWCS. Reliability analyses indicated good internal consistency, supported by correlation analyses linking scale scores with diverse attitudinal and behavioral constructs.
Conclusions: This validation confirms the validity of CAWCS and highlights the significant associations between employees' perceptions of these dimensions and their workplace experiences and behaviors. Int J Occup Med Environ Health. 2024;37(3):311-25.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
