  • 1.  Well-being measure

    Posted 10-21-2013 08:32

    Dear all,

    we would like to measure people oriented outcomes in virtual project teams.

    We considered using Job satisfaction questionnaire (Bacharach, Bamberger, & Conley, 1991) and Job related (Affective) well-being. For the latter one we thought about JAWS questionnaire (Van Katwyk, Fox, Spector, & Kelloway, 2000), but realised there is an overlap with some other questions in our questionnaire.

     

    Is anyone aware of any other relevant measurement scale that we could use to measure well-being of employees.

     

    Any advice in this matter would be much appreciated.

     

    Thank you,

    Renata

    Renata, The Bar-On Emotional Competence Inventory measures many things, including well-being. One of the nice features of the instrument is that it is possible to use just pieces of it, and I believe you could use just the competencies that make up the well-being area. It is a Multi-Health Systems instrument.

    Emotional Intelligence Tip:
    "The best leaders have found effective ways to understand and improve the way they handle their own and other people's emotions. Understanding the powerful role of emotions in the workplace sets the best leaders apart from the rest-not just in tangibles such as better business results and the retention of talent, but in the all important intangibles, such as higher morale, motivation and commitment."

    Hi Renata:

    With some colleagues, we recently validated a four-scale measure of affect based on the framework of Warr (2007), which provides information about the four quadrants of the circumplex model of affect (see the in press manuscript attached). You can use these measures to assess four different manifestations of employee affective well being.

    Hope this helps, regards
