Reliability and Validity of a Single-Item Measure of Job Satisfaction

Abstract

These results are consistent with other studies and support the psychometric properties of this single-item overall job satisfaction measure. Limitations of the study and its implications for worksite health promotion are discussed.

Effect of Lifestyle Modification Program Implemented in the Community on Workers' Job Satisfaction

“…As for subjective complaints, higher scores indicate more frequency of episodes. With regard to job satisfaction which is the main outcome of our study, the validity of a single-item measure has been demonstrated by many studies reported to date [19][20][21][22] . Mental health status was accessed with the 12-item version General Health Questionnaire (GHQ), and through the question about 'whether you are coping effectively with stress (measured by the following scores 1. yes, 2. no)'.…”

Factors That Influence Nurses’ Work-Family Conflict, Job Satisfaction, and Intention to Leave in a Private Hospital in Turkey

“…The participants were asked to rate their work according to their own values, ideals, and purposes from 0 (not at all satisfied) to 5 (satisfied) to 10 (absolutely satisfied). 22 The nurses were also asked to rate their intention to leave from 0 (I definitely think about leaving my job) to 5 (I sometimes think about leaving my job) to 10 (I don't have any intention of leaving my job).…”

A Single-Item Measure Approach to Consumer-Based Brand Equity Based on Evolutionary Psychology and Neuroscience

“…If someone wants to measure a CBBE index in an industry with five competitive brands and he or she draws on the OBE model with the four indicator questions, then the number of questions is four times higher than that of the suggested BE_AB model. This overload of questions is likely to lead to problematic responses while at the same time decreasing the validity of the results (Dolbier et al, 2005;Stanton, Sinar, Balzer, & Smith, 2002). If this issue is ignored, the probability of the results being arbitrary is high despite the use of validated measurement models.…”

“…In this case, it is particularly important that the measurement model be simple to use and as parsimonious as possible. If not, an empirical survey may become impractical due to the length of the questionnaire, which is likely to lead to unanswered or rather arbitrarily answered questions, both of which will reduce the validity of the results (Dolbier, Webster, McCalister, Mallon, & Steinhardt, 2005). For the sake of practicality, this report suggests a new easy-to-use and easyto-understand CBBE single-item measurement model that is as valid as already approved models and is thus well applicable for the controlling purposes, especially for practitioners.…”
