由于组织和个人的成本，重要的是帮助有精神健康问题的生病名单上的员工重返工作岗位(RTW)。为了提供适当的干预，有必要更好地了解有精神健康问题的人的RTW过程。与工作相关的自我效能感(SE)可能在这一过程中起着关键作用。本文介绍了回归工作自我效能感量表(RTW-SE)在有心理健康问题员工中的编制和验证。三个荷兰病假员工样本被用来验证11个项目的工具(N=2214)。基于因素结构和信度结果，RTW-SE被概念化为一个整体结构。自尊量表与一般自尊、心理控制源、应对方式、体力负荷和心理健康问题之间的关系支持该量表的结构效度。最重要的是，RTW-SE被证明是三个月内实际重返工作岗位的一个强有力的预测指标。该量表令人鼓舞的初步心理测量学特性使其在研究、临床实践和职业保健环境中成为一种潜在的有价值的工具，无论是在员工重返工作岗位之前还是之后。
Because of the costs to both the organization and the individual, it is important that employees who are sick-listed with mental health problems are facilitated in their return to work (RTW). In order to provide adequate interventions, it is necessary to obtain a better understanding of the RTW process of people with mental health problems. Work-related self-efficacy (SE) might play a key role within this process. This paper describes the development and validation of the return-to-work self-efficacy' scale (RTW-SE) for employees with mental health problems. Three Dutch samples of sick-listed employees were used to validate the 11-item instrument (N=2214). Based on the factor structure and reliability results, RTW-SE was conceptualized as a unitary construct. The associations with general SE, locus of control, coping, physical workload and mental health problems support the construct validity of this scale. Most importantly, RTW-SE proved to be a robust predictor of actual return to work within three months. The encouraging preliminary psychometric properties of the scale make it a potentially valuable tool in research and in clinical practice and occupational health care settings, both before and after employees have returned to work.
