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.

开发和验证 "社区和代理工作场所氛围量表"。

研究目的本研究旨在定义和评估员工在组织环境中感知到的两个关键维度--公共工作场所氛围（Communal）和代理工作场所氛围（AWC）。社区工作场所氛围强调员工的幸福感，而代理工作场所氛围则强调与生产力相关的方面：为了提高理解能力，我们编制了 "共同和代理工作场所氛围量表"（CAWCS），并通过一系列研究进行了验证。这项研究涉及波兰不同职位和组织的 4008 名员工。最初，我们设计了一个由 20 个项目组成的项目库来反映这些维度，并通过探索性因子分析确定了一套由 12 个项目组成的稳健的项目库：结果：确认性因素分析证实了 CAWCS 的双因素结构。信度分析表明，量表得分与各种态度和行为建构之间的相关性分析表明，量表具有良好的内部一致性：此次验证证实了 CAWCS 的有效性，并强调了员工对这些维度的认知与其工作场所经历和行为之间的重要关联。Int J Occup Med Environ Health.2024;37(3).
