Development of a scale to measure the productivity of individual workers

要旨

Workers’ productivity is affected not only by their mental and physical health but also by various other factors. However, many existing scales use the point of view of absenteeism. In this article, we developed the Subjective Productivity Scale (SPS), which measures the state of high productivity of workers from various factors. In Study 1, we organized the state of high productivity of workers using a bottom-up method. In Study 2, we developed the SPS. In Study 3, we verified its reliability and validity. Each of the SPS subscales was associated with work performance rather than absenteeism, suggesting that SPS measures a worker’s productivity on the basis of an approach that differs from existing scales. In addition, because individuals with high productivity have been shown to also experience negative states, the state of higher productivity needs to be understood from multiple perspectives.
