Description

A scale of QWL was developed based on Alderfer's need satisfaction theory called E.R.G. theory. The QWL scale (QWLSCL) was designed to measure the extent to which four types of needs (or subdomains of QWL) allowance including pay and fringe-benefit, relationship with supervisor, collegiality, and growth, are met by nursing personnel working in nursing facilities for the elderly. Using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) , confirmatory factor analyses were employed on the data of 575 nursing personnel to examine the validity and reliability of the QWLSCL. Deletion of redundant observed variables changed the original 18-item scale to the respecified 15-item scale. Goodness of fit indices (GFI=.984, AGFI= .978, CFI=.978, RMSEA=.058) revealed the 15-item 2nd order factor model fit the data well, which confirmed the construct validity of QWLSCL.
