本研究利用来自五个国家的比较数据，探讨了工作中努力-回报不平衡（ERI）模型的心理测量特性。在这个模型中，慢性工作压力被认为是高付出和低回报之间的非互惠或不平衡。在一些前瞻性和横断面调查中证实了这种不平衡对健康的不良影响。采用验证性因子分析对“努力”、“奖励”和“过度承诺”量表的内部一致性、判别效度和析因结构进行了评估。此外，内容（或外部）有效性方面的自我报告健康的措施进行了探讨。分析数据来源于在五个欧洲国家进行的流行病学研究：Somstress研究（比利时，n = 3796）， gazel队列研究（法国，n = 10,174）， WOLF-Norrland研究（瑞典，n = 960）， Whitehall II研究（英国，n = 3697）和公共交通雇员研究（德国，n = 316）。量表的内部一致性在所有样本中都是令人满意的，并且量表的析因结构得到一致的证实（所有拟合优度均为> 0.92）。此外，在14项分析中的12项中，观察到在ERI量表上得分较高的员工健康状况不佳的优势比显著升高。总之，基于社会学理论的工作压力（ERI）的心理测量学上合理的测量可用于比较社会流行病学调查。鉴于成人健康工作的重要性，这种调查在欧洲内外的发达社会至关重要。(C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd.版权所有。
Using comparative data from five countries, this study investigates the psychometric properties of the effort-reward imbalance (ERI) at work model. In this model, chronic work-related stress is identified as non-reciprocity or imbalance between high efforts spent and low rewards received. Health-adverse effects of this imbalance were documented in several prospective and cross-sectional investigations. The internal consistency, discriminant validity and factorial structure of 'effort', 'reward', and 'overcommitment' scales are evaluated, using confirmatory factor analysis. Moreover, content (or external) validity is explored with respect to a measure of self-reported health.Data for the analysis is derived from epidemiologic studies conducted in five European countries: the Somstress Study (Belgium; n = 3796), the GAZEL-Cohort Study (France; n = 10, 174), the WOLF-Norrland Study (Sweden; n = 960), the Whitehall II Study (UK; n = 3697) and the Public Transport Employees Study (Germany; n = 316). Internal consistency of the scales was satisfactory in all samples, and the factorial structure of the scales was consistently confirmed (all goodness of fit measures were > 0.92). Moreover, in 12 of 14 analyses, significantly elevated odds ratios of poor health were observed in employees scoring high on the ERI scales.In conclusion, a psychometrically well-justified measure of work-related stress (ERI) grounded in sociological theory is available for comparative socioepidemiologic investigations. In the light of the importance of work for adult health such investigations are crucial in advanced societies within and beyond Europe. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
