详细审查了审查工作场所负面经历的两项措施的结构，一项主要侧重于性骚扰（SEQ），另一项侧重于工作场所虐待（GWA）。本文调查了相对未探索测量（GWA）的五个分量表是否可靠地测量了一个单一的基础结构。它还调查了这两个工作场所为基础的措施是否是不同的，但相关的结构和跨性别的因素结构的一致性。使用来自中西部大学的大型和多样化的组织调查，分析支持这两个措施的独特性，并表明，这两个结构的因素结构是非常相似的性别。分析还表明，每个结构中的极端行为指数没有得到可靠的测量。这些发现对专注于负面工作场所体验的研究中的数据收集策略具有重要意义。这项研究提供了相当大的支持，继续使用这两种措施的研究调查不利的工作场所环境对健康的影响。
The structures of two measures examining negative experiences in the workplace, one focusing primarily on sexual harassment (SEQ) and one focusing on workplace abuse (GWA), were examined in detail. This article investigated whether the five subscales for the relatively unexplored measure (GWA) are reliably measured by a single underlying construct. It also investigated whether the two workplace-based measures are distinct but related constructs and the consistency of their factor structure across genders. Using a large and diverse organizational survey derived from a Midwestern university, analyses supported the distinctiveness of the two measures and showed that the factor structures for the two constructs were remarkably similar across genders. Analyses also suggested that indices of extreme behavior within each of the constructs were not reliably measured. The findings have important implications for data collection strategies in research focused on negative workplace experiences. This study provides considerable support for the continued use of both measures in research investigating the impact of adverse workplace environment on health.
