Les facteurs de stress psychosociaux liés au travail sont reconnus comme des risques professionnels et évalués sur les lieux de travail dans de nombreux pays depuis des décennies. Il est essentiel d’identifier des outils permettant de mesurer les risques psychosociaux liés au travail afin de sensibiliser davantage les États-Unis à leur impact sur la santé et la sécurité des employés.
Objectives Work-related psychosocial stressors have been recognized as occupational hazards and assessed in workplaces in many countries for decades. Identifying tools to measure work-related psychosocial hazards to increase awareness in the United States about the impact on employees’ health and safety is critical (J Occup Environ Med. 2021;63:e245–e249). Methods We describe the development and psychometric validation of an online tool, the Healthy Work Survey, utilizing items from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health Quality of Work Life questionnaire. Results There are 55 items in the final core work section of the HWS. Factor analyses confirmed nine factors, and the subsequent multi-item scales had acceptable internal consistency. A user-friendly, online system and automated report compares individual’s and organization’s scores to distributions from a representative US working population (General Social Survey Quality of Work Life). Discussion The HWS is a reliable, valid tool for organizations and individuals to assess psychosocial work hazards.
