Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health Psychology
  • Organizational Behavior
  • Psychometrics

Background:

  • A healthy workplace is crucial for employee well-being and organizational success.
  • Assessing workplace health climate is vital for targeted health interventions.
  • Existing measures may lack comprehensiveness or practicality for diverse organizational levels.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate the Multi-faceted Organizational Health Climate Assessment (MOHCA) scale.
  • To create a practical, short, and comprehensive tool for assessing workplace health climate.
  • To evaluate the scale's psychometric properties and validity for identifying intervention needs.

Main Methods:

  • Scale development involving item generation and testing on two distinct samples.
  • Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses to determine scale structure.
  • Validity testing, including convergent, discriminant, and criterion-related validity assessments.

Main Results:

  • A 9-item, hierarchical 3-factor structure for the MOHCA scale was identified.
  • MOHCA demonstrated convergent validity with perceived organizational and supervisor support.
  • Discriminant validity from safety climate and criterion-related validity with health outcomes were confirmed.

Conclusions:

  • The MOHCA scale is a valid and reliable instrument for measuring workplace health climate.
  • Its multi-faceted nature allows for practical diagnosis of organizational and workgroup health shortcomings.
  • MOHCA facilitates targeted planning of health and well-being interventions.
