Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Other | Life satisfaction | Life satisfaction will be measured with the five items of the Satisfaction with Life Scale. All answers are reported on a 7-point Likert scale (1 = totally disagree; 7 = totally agree); one item example being, "I am satisfied with my life". Higher scores represent higher satisfaction with life. | Change from baseline to post-intervention (approximately 6 weeks). | |
Other | Satisfaction with the intervention | Satisfaction with the intervention will be measured using 38 items. A higher score means a better outcome (increased satisfaction with the intervention). | At study completion (post-intervention), an average of 6 weeks. | |
Other | Satisfaction with the intervention | 7 open-ended questions exploring participants' subjective experience with the intervention program. | At study completion (post-intervention), an average of 6 weeks. | |
Primary | Work engagement | Work engagement will be measured with the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES-9). It has 9 items that form three dimensions, each with 3 items: vigor (e.g., "At my work, I feel bursting with energy"), dedication (e.g., "I am enthusiastic about my job"), and absorption (e.g., "I am immersed in my work"). This measure uses a 7-point scale (0 =never, 6 = always). Higher scores represent higher work engagement. | Change from baseline to mid-intervention and post-intervention (approximately 3 weeks and 6 weeks). | |
Primary | Psychological capital (PsyCap) | Psychological capital will be measured with the 12-item Psychological Capital Questionnaire. It has four subscales: hope ("At the moment, I feel quite fulfilled at work."), self-efficacy ("I feel confident presenting information to a group of colleagues."), resilience ("Usually, at work, I easily get over the stressful aspects."), and optimism ("I am optimistic about what will happen to me in the future regarding my job."). All 12-item are reported on a 6-point Likert scale (1 = strongly disagree, 6 = strongly agree). Higher scores represent higher PsyCap. | Change from baseline to mid-intervention and post-intervention (approximately 3 weeks and 6 weeks). | |
Primary | Strengths use | The Strengths Use subscale from the Strengths Use and Deficit Correction questionnaire (SUDCO). I has 6 items, rated on a 0 (almost never) to 6 (almost always) scale. A sample item is "I seek opportunities to do my work in a manner that best suits my strong points". Higher scores represent higher levels of strengths use. | Change from baseline to mid-intervention and post-intervention (approximately 3 weeks and 6 weeks). | |
Primary | Strengths identification, use and development | A set of 18 items, rated on a 0 (almost never) to 6 (almost always) scale, was developed by the team of experts involved in this study. Higher scores represent higher levels of strengths use, identification, and development. | Change from baseline to mid-intervention and post-intervention (approximately 3 weeks and 6 weeks). | |
Secondary | Burnout | Burnout will be assessed with the 12-item Burnout Assessment Tool (BAT). This questionnaire has four subscales: exhaustion (3 items; "At work, I feel mentally exhausted."), emotional impairment (3 items; "At work, I feel unable to control my emotions."), cognitive impairment (3 items; "At work, I have trouble staying focused.") and mental distance (3 items; "I struggle to find any enthusiasm for my work."). All items are scored on a 5-point scale ranging from 1(never) to 5 (always). Higher scores represent elevated symptoms of burnout. | Change from baseline to post-intervention (approximately 6 weeks). | |
Secondary | Job satisfaction | Job satisfaction will be measured with the Michigan Organizational Assessment Questionnaire. The scale has three items with a response on a 7-point Likert scale (1 = total disagreement, 7 = total agreement). A sample item reads: "In general, I like working here.". Higher scores represent higher job satisfaction. | Change from baseline to post-intervention (approximately 6 weeks). | |
Secondary | Job performance | Job performance will be assessed with a 7-item scale. Response options range on a Likert scale from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). A sample item is "I adequately complete my assigned duties.". Higher scores represent higher performance. | Change from baseline to post-intervention (approximately 6 weeks). | |
Secondary | Employability | Employability will be measured with the four-item Perceived Employability Scale. Each item is rated on a 5-point Likert scale (1 = totally disagree; 5 = totally agree). Higher scores represent higher levels of employability. | Change from baseline to post-intervention (approximately 6 weeks). |
