目的证据表明，员工在某种程度上可以通过利用可用的余地以不同的方式开展工作来应对工作中与健康相关的挑战。本研究的目的是评估工作余地量表 (JLS) 的可靠性和有效性，这是一种新的 18 项自我报告问卷，旨在评估员工对管理工作中与健康相关的挑战的可用灵活性和自由度的看法。方法 因慢性病而寻求工作场所困难援助的工人（n = 119 人，83% 为女性，中位年龄 = 49 岁）完成了 JLS 以及其他工作场所和健康措施。使用探索性因素分析（EFA）评估结构有效性，并通过与相关措施的关联评估并发有效性。结果 平均项目得分范围为 2.13 至 4.16，可能范围为 0-6。 EFA 支持三个基本因素：组织余地（9 项）、任务余地（6 项）和人员配备余地（3 项）。子量表分数的内部一致性 (alpha) 范围为 0.78 至 0.91，总分的内部一致性 (alpha) 范围为 0.94。 JLS 显示出与其他工作成果指标的中度相关性，包括工作疲劳、自我效能、敬业度和生产力。结论 JLS 是一项有前途的新措施，其可靠性和有效性得到了初步支持，可用于评估工人对管理工作中健康症状的灵活性的信念，并且这种结构可能对工人的支持和住宿产生组织影响。
Purpose Evidence suggests that workers manage health-related challenges at work, in part, by using available leeway to perform work differently. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the reliability and validity of the Job Leeway Scale (JLS), a new 18-item self-report questionnaire designed to assess worker perceptions of available flexibility and latitude to manage health-related challenges at work. Methods Workers seeking assistance for workplace difficulties due to chronic medical conditions (n = 119, 83% female, median age = 49) completed the JLS along with other workplace and health measures. Construct validity was assessed using exploratory factor analysis (EFA), and concurrent validity was assessed by associations with related measures. Results Mean item scores ranged from 2.13 to 4.16 within a possible range of 0–6. The EFA supported three underlying factors: organizational leeway (9 items), task leeway (6 items), and staffing leeway (3 items). Internal consistency (alpha) ranged from 0.78 to 0.91 for subscale scores and 0.94 for the total score. The JLS showed moderate correlations with other work outcome measures including work fatigue, self-efficacy, engagement, and productivity. Conclusion The JLS is a promising new measure with initial support for its reliability and validity to assess worker beliefs of available flexibility to manage health symptoms at work, and this construct may have organizational implications for worker support and accommodation.
