这项针对芬兰管理者（n = 615）的为期 3 年的跟踪研究的目的首先是测试工作相关情感幸福感量表的理论结构（Warr，1990b），其次是检验工作特征与工作相关情感幸福感之间的线性和曲线纵向关联。验证性因素分析表明，假设的四因素模型最好地描述了与工作相关的情感幸福量表的结构；也就是说，该量表在两个测量时间都包括与工作相关的焦虑、舒适、抑郁和热情四个相互关联的因素。结构方程模型表明，在控制一致性感后，工作中的高度舒适感与对组织氛围支持性的积极感知纵向相关。相反，本研究中包含的工作特征（工作控制和支持性组织氛围）并不能作为随访期间与工作相关的情感幸福感的先决条件。此外，工作特征和与工作相关的情感幸福感之间不存在横截面或纵向曲线关联：关联被发现是线性的。我们的结论是 (a) 沃尔与工作相关的情感幸福感量表最好被概念化为由四个相互关联的维度组成，其因素结构 (b) 在 3 年的时间间隔内高度稳定。
The aims of this 3-year follow-up study among Finnish managers (n = 615) were first, to test the theoretically-based structure of the job-related affective well-being scale (Warr, 1990b), and second, to examine the linear and curvilinear longitudinal associations between work characteristics and job-related affective well-being. Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the hypothesized four-factor model best described the structure of the job-related affective well-being scale; that is, the scale included four interrelated factors of job-related anxiety, comfort, depression, and enthusiasm at both measurement times. Structural equation modelling showed that high feelings of comfort at work were longitudinally associated with a positive perception of the supportiveness of the organizational climate, after controlling for sense of coherence. Conversely, the work characteristics included in this study (job control and supportive organizational climate) did not serve as antecedents of job-related affective well-being during the follow-up. In addition, there were no cross-sectional or longitudinal curvilinear associations between work characteristics and job-related affective well-being: associations were found to be linear. We conclude that (a) Warr's scale of job-related affective well-being is best conceptualized as consisting of four interrelated dimensions whose factor structure is (b) highly stable across a 3-year time interval.
