The study aims to develop and validate a tool for measuring Decent Work in hospital nursing environments.
Generated 184 potential items based on concept analysis, refined to 142 through expert review.
Conducted exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses for structural validity and reliability.
Assessed cross-validation and criterion-related validity using an independent sample.
Identified a five-factor structure with 22 items that includes meaningful work, worker rights protection, and adequate compensation.
Achieved good internal consistency (Cronbach’s α = 0.896) and acceptable fit indices (CFI = 0.969, RMSEA = 0.037).
Positive association between decent work and work engagement, and negative association with burnout.
