Background and Objective:
Workplace emotional health is one of the fundamental topics in the field of organizational psychology and human resource management. This concept refers to a state in which employees are able to effectively manage and appropriately express their emotions and adapt to stressful situations and workplace challenges. Neglecting employees' emotional health can reduce productivity and increase job burnout. This study aimed to examine the validity and reliability of an emotional health questionnaire in the workplace.
Materials and Methods:
In this study, a validated questionnaire was used to assess emotional health in the workplace. The reliability and validity of this questionnaire were evaluated using Cronbach's alpha coefficient, linguistic validity, Content Validity Ratio (CVR), and Content Validity Index (CVI). The content validity of the questionnaire was assessed by 15 university professors and academic experts. To determine reliability, the questionnaire was completed by 385 nurses. Data analysis was performed using SPSS software, version 26.
Findings:
Based on the linguistic validity assessment of the workplace emotional health questionnaire, two out of 25 items required revision. The CVR value for the overall emotional health scale was 0.89, and the CVI in the present study was found to be 0.97. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient for emotional expression, emotional awareness, interpersonal adaptability, workload, and the total questionnaire were 0.89, 0.85, 0.80, 0.82, and 0.94, respectively — all of which were acceptable and desirable.
Conclusion:
The results of this study indicated that, given the satisfactory levels of validity and reliability indices,
