Abstract

Research on the concept of existing unidimensional Perceived Work Ability scale (PWA) in organizational science has recently increased due to its prediction of important work, individual, and labor force outcomes. To date, PWA has been measured as a unidimensional construct. The present study outlines the need for the multidimensional conceptualization of PWA and its measurement. We describe the development and validation of the Multidimensional Perceived Work Ability Scale (M-PWAS), comprising four dimensions: physical, cognitive, interpersonal, and emotional. In line with Hinkin's (1998) approach to scale validation, we use four samples (total N = 1,152) to establish the M-PWAS as a reliable and valid measure of PWA. Through an iterative item generation and review process, we found evidence for content validity. Furthermore, each subscale demonstrated high internal consistency and factorial validity, and analysis of the PWA nomological network demonstrated evidence for convergent and discriminant validity. Finally, we found that the M-PWAS showed incremental validity over an existing unidimensional PWA measure in the prediction of perceived stress, emotional exhaustion, work engagement, and turnover. We discuss implications for theory, research, and workplace interventions. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).

多维感知工作能力量表的开发与验证。

组织科学中现有的单维感知工作能力量表（PWA）的研究近来有所增加，因为它可以预测重要的工作、个人和劳动力结果。迄今为止，PWA 一直是作为一种单维度结构来测量的。本研究概述了多维概念化 PWA 及其测量的必要性。我们介绍了多维感知工作能力量表（M-PWAS）的开发和验证过程，该量表包括四个维度：身体、认知、人际和情感。根据 Hinkin（1998 年）的量表验证方法，我们使用四个样本（总人数 = 1,152 人）将 M-PWAS 确立为一种可靠有效的 PWA 测量方法。通过迭代项目生成和审查过程，我们发现了内容效度的证据。此外，每个分量表都显示出较高的内部一致性和因子效度，而对 PWA 命名网络的分析则显示出收敛效度和区分效度。最后，我们发现 M-PWAS 与现有的单维度 PWA 测量相比，在预测感知压力、情绪衰竭、工作投入度和离职率方面表现出更高的有效性。我们讨论了该研究对理论、研究和工作场所干预措施的影响。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA，保留所有权利）。
