Selbstkontrollanforderungen bei der Arbeit

Fragebogen zur Erfassung eines bislang wenig beachteten Belastungsfaktors

Published Online:June 25, 2010https://doi.org/10.1026/0012-1924/a000015

Abstract

Zusammenfassung. Gegenstand der vorliegenden Studie ist die Überprüfung der psychometrischen Eigenschaften von drei Skalen zur Erfassung verschiedener Formen von Selbstkontrollanforderungen bei der Arbeit (wie Impulskontrolle, Überwinden innerer Widerstände, Ablenkungen widerstehen). Neuere Theorievorstellungen und Befunde aus der Grundlagenforschung legen die Annahme nahe, dass das Bewältigen dieser Selbstkontrollanforderungen eine bedeutsame Belastungsquelle bei der Arbeit darstellt. Die in zwei beruflichen Tätigkeitsfeldern erhobenen Daten belegen, dass die Skalen drei distinkte, moderat korrelierte Anforderungsformen abbilden. Die Skalen verfügen zudem über zufriedenstellende interne Konsistenzen und Test-Retest-Reliabilitäten. Darüber hinaus konnten sowohl im Querschnitt als auch im Längsschnitt signifikante positive Zusammenhänge mit Indikatoren der Arbeitsbeanspruchung als Validitätskriterien nachgewiesen werden (wie z.B. Burnout und Fehlzeitenmaße).


Self-control demands – questionnaire for measuring a so far neglected job stressor

Abstract. The aim the present study was to examine the psychometric properties of three scales for assessing different forms of self-control demands at work (such as impulse control, overcoming inner resistances, resisting distractions). Recent theoretical considerations and the results of basic research suggest that coping with these demands is an important source of stress at work. Data from two occupational groups reveal that the scales cover three distinct, moderately correlated forms of control demands. In addition, the scales have satisfactory internal consistencies and test-retest reliabilities. Furthermore, significant positive relationships with indicators of job strain as validity criteria (for example, burnout and absence measures) were found both cross-sectionally and longitudinally.
