Description
The present research described the development of the Singapore Workplace Wellbeing scale which identified the factors that influence employee wellbeing in the Singapore workplace context. Participants from various industries in Singapore completed an online survey containing a battery of measures including the new workplace wellbeing measure in two separate studies. Study 1 involved (N = 318) conducting a parallel analysis followed by exploratory factor analysis on items generated from a qualitative study by Yip et al., (2024) in which the authors identified 13 distinct factors that contributed to workplace wellbeing and concluded that expression of these factors was unique to the Singapore context. A confirmation factor analysis was conducted on study 2 (N = 303) which confirmed a 13-factor scale with 99 items. These factors were support from boss, fairness, autonomy, meaningful work, co-worker relationship, role clarity, work-life balance, learning and professional growth, person-organization fit, employee engagement, employee recognition, flexitime work, accomplishment, and organization support. The new scale showed sound construct reliability, internal consistency, convergent validity, discriminant, and nomological validity. Importantly, the scale showed significant and positive association with job performance and flourishing, but a significant and negative association with burnout and the negative emotional state of depression, anxiety, and stress. The scale has significant potential to be used as workplace wellbeing screening tool and in research in the the Singapore context. Implications, future directions, and limitations of the research are discussed.
