Abstract

Abstract. Our study introduces a 9-item and an ultra-short 3-item version of the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale – Student Form (UWES-SF). Using data from German university students ( N = 2,620), our aim was to validate the factorial structure of the UWES-9-SF and to investigate the reliability and validity of an ultra-short measure – the UWES-3-SF. Confirmatory factor analyses (CFA) confirmed the three-factor structure of the 9-item version (CFI = .95; SRMR = .033, RMSEA = .088), the internal consistencies of the sub-scales were satisfactory. The ultra-short version with three items (one of each dimension) also proved to be a reliable indicator of student engagement with a Cronbach’s α of .86. Construct validity with similar and opposite constructs (burnout, satisfaction with life, subjective health, depressive symptoms, challenging study demands) was successfully proven for both measures as well as for the sub-scales of the UWES-9-SF. The German short and ultra-short versions of the UWES-SF with nine and three items, respectively, are valid and reliable measures to assess student engagement.

用乌得勒支工作投入量表测量幸福感-学生表格

摘要我们的研究引入了一个9项和超短的3项版本的乌得勒支工作投入量表-学生表格(UWES-SF)。使用来自德国大学生的数据(N = 2620)，我们的目的是验证UWES-9-SF的析因结构，并调查超短测量- UWES-3-SF的信度和效度。验证性因子分析(CFA)证实了9项版本的三因素结构(CFI = .95;SRMR = 0.033, RMSEA = 0.088)，各量表内部一致性较好。具有三个项目(每个维度一个)的超短版本也被证明是学生参与的可靠指标，Cronbach 's α为0.86。相似和相反构念(倦怠、生活满意度、主观健康、抑郁症状、挑战性研究需求)的构念效度在这两个量表以及UWES-9-SF的子量表中都得到了成功的证明。德语版的UWES-SF简短版和超简短版分别有9个和3个项目，是评估学生参与度的有效和可靠的措施。
