The Telework Pet Scale: Development and psychometric properties
This study intended to develop and validate the Telework Pet Scale (TPS). This measure aims to evaluate relevant aspects of the e-working experience related to the human-animal bond. We conducted four studies. First, we conducted a study to develop the scale, then we conducted another one to explore its factorial structure (N = 359). A third study served to analyze its internal validity and reliability (N = 290). A fourth study analyzed the criterion validity of the TPS, by exploring its correlations with measures of health, affect, satisfaction, and performance (N = 320 teleworkers). The findings revealed that the 8-item scale accounted for a unique factor and that it is a reliable measure. Moreover, the results also showed that the scale was significantly related to measures of health, affect, satisfaction, and performance. The cross-sectional nature of the four studies is a limitation. The TPS completes a gap in the research by providing a measure that may support organizations to evaluate and support teleworkers’ needs and their subsequent satisfaction while teleworking. This research gives a step forward in the knowledge about telework and pet owners perceived experience of it.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Veterinary Behavior: Clinical Applications and Research is an international journal that focuses on all aspects of veterinary behavioral medicine, with a particular emphasis on clinical applications and research. Articles cover such topics as basic research involving normal signaling or social behaviors, welfare and/or housing issues, molecular or quantitative genetics, and applied behavioral issues (eg, working dogs) that may have implications for clinical interest or assessment.
JVEB is the official journal of the Australian Veterinary Behaviour Interest Group, the British Veterinary Behaviour Association, Gesellschaft fr Tierverhaltensmedizin und Therapie, the International Working Dog Breeding Association, the Pet Professional Guild, the Association Veterinaire Suisse pour la Medecine Comportementale, and The American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior.
