Quality of Working Life Survey Instrument with 48 Items and 407 Employee Responses

A psychometric survey instrument for assessing quality of working life, developed through stakeholder focus groups and Delphi procedures. The dataset contains 48 items and was validated with responses from 407 employees of a non-profit social services organization. The author is Cristina Jenaro, and the data was last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Validate a hierarchical model of quality of working life based on the described six-factor structure.
• Assess measurement invariance across demographic groups based on the reported tests for sex, job tenure, and professional group.
• Examine convergent validity with constructs like engagement and job satisfaction based on the described correlation patterns.
• Conduct factor analysis on survey items developed through a bottom-up construct-elicitation approach.

Strengths

• The instrument was validated with a sample of 407 employees.
• The scale comprises 48 items developed through stakeholder focus groups and Delphi procedures.
• Psychometric properties were tested, including internal consistency, measurement invariance, and convergent/discriminant validity.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The data is from a single large non-profit organization, which may limit generalizability.
