Abstract

The study looks into the validation and analysis of the psychometric properties of the Techno-Work Engagement Scale (TechnoWES-9) in the case of a sample of Romanian employees (N=280). The scale is based on the concept of work engagement and evaluates the well-being generated by the use of technology at the workplace. The tool includes three factors: techno-vigor, techno-dedication, and techno-absorption, each with three items. The factorial structure was verified through confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and the reliability of the scale was examined from the perspective of its internal consistency. The concurrent validity was performed by associating scales that assess subjective well-being. The CFA supports the tri-factorial structure of the scale. The internal consistency of the total score is excellent. TechnoWES-9 is positively associated with subjective well-being, life satisfaction, and positive affect. None of the dimensions of the scale correlates with negative affect. The study suggests that the Romanian version of TechnoWES-9 is an adequate measure for the assessment of well-being of Romanian employees working in digital technology.

技术-工作敬业度量表(technoes -9)在罗马尼亚员工中的适应与验证

本研究以罗马尼亚员工(N=280)为样本，对技术-工作投入量表(technows -9)的心理测量特性进行了验证和分析。该量表基于工作投入的概念，并评估在工作场所使用技术所产生的幸福感。该工具包括三个因素:技术活力、技术奉献和技术吸收，每个因素有三个项目。通过验证性因子分析(CFA)对因子结构进行验证，并从量表内部一致性的角度检验量表的信度。并发效度是通过评估主观幸福感的相关量表来执行的。CFA支持量表的三因子结构。总分内部一致性优秀。技术-9与主观幸福感、生活满意度和积极影响呈正相关。量表的任何一个维度都与消极情绪无关。研究表明，罗马尼亚版的TechnoWES-9是评估罗马尼亚数字技术员工幸福感的适当措施。
