Background:
Although the interest in the problem of adaptation to work among psychologists is still growing, there are a few methods for investigating this issue. The present study was undertaken to develop a new instrument for assessing one's adaptation to work and to evaluate the psychometric parameters of the test.
Materials And Methods:
A questionnaire called "My work", based on the person-environment fit theory model, has been elaborated.
Results:
The questionnaire consists of 23 items, describing various aspects of adaptation to work. The results of a survey, performed on 292 individuals, provided the grounds for testing the validation parameters of the questionnaire. The following psychometric properties were assessed: Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient (0.92), stability (0.75), and content validity. Preliminary normative values for the test were also established.
Conclusions:
The "My work" test shows a good psychometric characteristic and it can be useful for both research work and practical application (as a diagnostic tool).
