Abstract

Background: Attention to emotions is growing in workplaces. To address this interest, new psychological instruments have been developed to assess the emotional states of individuals at work. The Work-Related Affective Feelings (WORAF) Scale is a new psychological tool for measuring four main emotions: happiness, anxiety, anger, and dejection at work.

Objective: To determine psychometric properties of the Farsi version of the WORAF Scale in Iran.

Design: This research employed a cross-sectional research design. The sample consisted of 514 people (250 females and 264 males). We collected data using the Work-Related Affective Feelings Scale, the Job-Related Affective Well-Being Scale, and the Ten-Item Personality Inventory. Confirmatory Factor Analysis was used to check the factorial structure of this scale. The Pearson correlation coefficient and Cronbach's alpha were analyzed using SPSS version 26 and R software version 4.2.

Results: The model fit indices suggested satisfactory fit for the final models as CFI = .907, TLI = .904, NFI = .907, IFI = .907, X²/_df = 3.809, RMR = .055, and RMSEA = .079. The Cronbach's alpha of the scale was .87 and values ranging from .73 to .92 confirmed the reliability of the WORAF. The Pearson correlation analysis revealed a statistically significant relationship between this scale and similar scales, verifying the convergent validity of this scale and similar scales.

Conclusion: The findings provide empirical support and introduce the WORAF Scale as a valid and reliable scale translated and validated in Iran. The Farsi version of this scale can measure four major emotions of individuals in Iranian workplaces. This scale can be used by Iranian researchers as well as by organizational practitioners to measure, identify, and improve the emotions employees experience in their workplaces. Considering the large number of employees in the private and public sectors in Iran, this scale can be useful.

波斯语版工作相关情感量表的心理测量特性评价。

背景：工作场所对情绪的关注越来越多。为了解决这一问题，人们开发了新的心理工具来评估个人在工作中的情绪状态。工作情感量表（WORAF）是一种新的心理学工具，用于测量工作中的四种主要情绪：快乐、焦虑、愤怒和沮丧。目的：了解伊朗波斯语版WORAF量表的心理测量特征。设计：本研究采用横断面研究设计。样本包括514人（250名女性和264名男性）。我们使用与工作相关的情感感受量表、与工作相关的情感幸福感量表和十项人格量表收集数据。采用验证性因子分析对量表的因子结构进行检验。Pearson相关系数和Cronbach’s alpha采用SPSS 26和R 4.2进行分析。结果：模型拟合指标CFI = .907, TLI = .904, NFI = .907, IFI = .907, X2/df = 3.809, RMR = .055, RMSEA = .079，最终模型拟合满意。克朗巴赫量表的alpha值是。87，取值范围为。73到。92次确认了WORAF的可靠性。Pearson相关分析显示，该量表与同类量表之间存在统计学上显著的关系，验证了该量表与同类量表的收敛效度。结论：本研究结果提供了实证支持，并将WORAF量表作为一种有效可靠的量表在伊朗进行翻译和验证。这个量表的波斯语版本可以衡量伊朗工作场所个人的四种主要情绪。这个量表可以被伊朗的研究人员和组织从业者用来测量、识别和改善员工在工作场所的情绪体验。考虑到伊朗私营和公共部门的大量雇员，这种规模可能是有用的。
