ABSTRACT

Organizational characteristics are important predictors of workplace outcomes, but the length and complexity of validated instruments restrict their use in research and practice. This study tested a brief Measure of Work Environment (MWE) using data from 718 child welfare and 349 home visiting professionals. Results confirmed a three-factor structure: group cohesion, leadership support, and organizational justice. The MWE demonstrated acceptable internal consistency (α = .87) and was significantly associated with job satisfaction, burnout, and intent to leave. The MWE is a promising, pragmatic measure of organizational environment for implementation research and program improvement.

摘要

组织特征是工作场所结果的重要预测因素，但经过验证的工具的长度和复杂性限制了它们在研究和实践中的使用。本研究使用来自 718 名儿童福利机构和 349 名家访专业人员的数据测试了简要的工作环境测量 (MWE)。结果证实了一个三因素结构：团队凝聚力、领导支持和组织公正。MWE 表现出可接受的内部一致性 (α = .87)，并且与工作满意度、倦怠和离职意愿显着相关。MWE 是一种用于实施研究和项目改进的组织环境的有希望的、务实的衡量标准。
