QPSNordic - the General Nordic Questionnaire for Psychological and Social Factors at Work: n:995Index

The study consisted of construction and testing of a questionnaire, QPSNordic, which is a common Nordic questionnaire for psychological and social factors in working life. The study was financed by the Nordic Minister Counsellor (Nordiska Ministerrådet) and the Nordic working environment institutes in Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden. Three books and one user manual have been published in the Nordic Minister Counsellor's publication series NORD. In addition, user manuals have been released in the language of each involved country. There are reports on the study and the validity check process in each country. The reports contain reviews on the intelligible and the theoretic background to the psychological and social factors which were chosen to be measured by QPSNordic. The relevant work related psychological and social factors are defined, their theoretic background is described and their association with health and well-being is presented. The basic principles for the selection of factors to QPSNordic were their relevance and importance for work, health and well-being. The multidisciplinary composition of the project group with experts from different specialties affected the choices in both content and methodology. Data bases from earlier Nordic questionnaires made the ground for the selection of questions in the questionnaire. The new QPSNordic consists of multiple-choice questions about following psychological and social factors in work: job requirement and control, predictability and mastery in work, social factors, leadership, organisational culture, interaction between work and private life, centrality of work, commitment to the organisation and work motivation. The validity check process contained the data collections from four Nordic countries. The first data collection (n=1015) was made to study the factor structure of the questionnaire. Twenty-six scales were created. The second collection (n=995) was made to test the intelligible and predictable validity of the scales. Inner consistence and retest reliability was estimated for each scale. The final version of QPSNordic contains 129 questions whereof 80 make up the 26 scales. Purpose: QPSNordic is designed to use as an instrument for studying psychological, social and organisational working conditions: 1) In organisation development and interventions, 2) in research of association between work and health and 3) in documentation of changes in working conditions.本研究围绕工作生活中心理与社会因素的通用北欧问卷QPSNordic（QPSNordic）的编制与测试展开。本研究由北欧部长理事会（Nordiska Ministerrådet）以及丹麦、芬兰、挪威、瑞典四国的北欧工作环境研究所资助。研究团队已在北欧部长理事会的NORD出版系列中推出三部专著与一份用户手册，此外还针对各参与国语言分别发布了用户手册。各国均有关于本研究及效度检验流程的报告，报告内容涵盖对QPSNordic拟测量的心理与社会因素的可读性及理论背景的评述。文中对与工作相关的心理与社会因素进行了界定，阐述了其理论基础，并阐明了其与健康及福祉的关联。 QPSNordic的因子遴选基本原则为其与工作、健康及福祉的相关性与重要性。项目组汇集多领域专家的跨学科构成，从内容与方法层面均对因子遴选产生了影响。既往北欧问卷的数据库为本次问卷的题目遴选奠定了基础。新版QPSNordic包含针对以下工作中心理与社会因素的选择题：工作要求与工作控制、工作可预测性与工作掌控感、社会因素、领导力、组织文化、工作与私人生活的交互作用、工作中心性、组织承诺与工作动机。 效度检验流程涵盖四个北欧国家的数据采集。首轮数据采集（样本量n=1015）用于探究问卷的因子结构，共生成26个分量表。第二轮数据采集（样本量n=995）用于检验各分量表的可读性与效标效度。研究对每个分量表的内部一致性及重测信度进行了估计。QPSNordic最终版本共包含129道题目，其中80道题目构成26个分量表。 研究目的： QPSNordic旨在作为研究心理、社会及组织工作环境的工具，具体应用场景包括：1）组织发展与干预实践；2）工作与健康关联的相关研究；3）工作环境变化的记录工作。
