The Process

Partial task

f

the project: development

f

the instrument for measuring quality

f

working life in population surveys The goal

the

instrument, which:

1. Covers

maximum of aspects

f

subjective quality

f

working life (SQWL)

2. Respects

the relevance of each aspect for individual worker

Steps to be done (rather parallelly, then consequently…):

1. Conceptualize the topic 2. Conclude about measurement dimension

f

SQWL 3. Identify relevant aspects

f

SQWL 4. Reveal valid structure

f

the mental space

f

SQWL 5. Define

ptimal

items for the final measuement instrument 6. Define measurement design for combining dimensins

1. Conceptualization

the topic

Quality

f

Life Quality

f

Working Life Objective Subjective

Exact wage, actual equipment etc. Satisfaction with wage, equipment etc.

3. Identification
