Abstract
Background: The Presented Inventory comes from Hungarian version of the Workplace Well-being Questionnaire created by Ágota Kun [2] and her research team. It is based on Seligman's PERMA model of happiness elements (Positive emotion, Engagement, positive Relationships, Meaning, and Accomplishment).
This Inventory was standardized for Czech environment to measure the level of workplace well-being with respect to higher fluctuation in Czech Republic based companies. Aim: The aim of this study is to confirm the multidimensional model of workplace wellbeing and standardize the inventory in the Czech workplace.
In addition, the first validation was realized with 4Elements Personality Inventory [1] to verify how each dimension correlates with personality traits defined by this typology. Method: The Hungarian version of the questionnaire was standardized with 242 Czech employees. 35 items from the original questionnaire were translated from English to Czech, 7 points Likert scale was used (unlike original 5 points) verbalized from 1- totally agree till 7- totally disagree.
Data was collected from April to June 2017 by Psychology students from Charles University. The item analysis and reliability evaluated by Cronbach's alpha coefficients of internal consistency were provided.
The preliminary scale structure was evaluated by factor analysis with Varimax rotation. As a validation tool the 4Elements Personality Inventory was used and completed by Psychology students from Charles University (N=39).
The reliability of the last Czech version of the questionnaire (N=1514) expressed with the Cronbach alpha coefficient is 0,794 for Air, 0,835 for Earth, 0,889 for Fire and 0,805 for Water. Results: The individual result clearly indicates the level of well-being of the employee in 6 dimensions and overall result in percentiles.
Factor analysis showed six dimensions correlated with raw score as showed in Figure 1. The reliability expressed with Cronbach alpha coefficient is 0,92 for the whole questionnaire, for each dimension varies from 0,64 till 0,86.
The lowest value is in Negative aspects of work dimension, 0,64. Split-half reliability for PERMA dimensions varies from 0,72 to 0,89, in Negative Aspects of Work dimension it is 0,42.
The validation with 4Elements Personality Inventory [1] showed positive significant correlation with Earth personality trait (r= 0,407) and negative significant correlation with Water trait (r= - 0,316).
