| Description | Aims: The aim of the study was to validate the Czech Multifaceted Job Satisfaction Questionnaire (Procházka et al., 2022). The questionnaire consists of 32 items with a seven-point response scale, evenly distributed across eight subscales, one of which measures overall satisfaction and seven of which measure facets of job satisfaction, specifically satisfaction with job content, working conditions, financial compensation, management, coworkers, opportunities for professional growth, and communication within the organization. The questionnaire also includes 8 open-ended, qualitatively assessed questions pertaining to the individual subscales, which, however, were not part of this validation study. Methods: Data for the validation study were collected by a professional agency using an online panel of respondents who completed an online multifaceted job satisfaction questionnaire, Kunin’s Job Satisfaction Scale, the Organizational Commitment Questionnaire (KUT), an item measuring the intention to leave the organization, and the Net Promoter Score (NPS). The questionnaire was completed by a representative sample of 753 employees (56.18% men) from Czech organizations, who responded in the context of their current job and the organization for which they work. Results: Analyses revealed high internal consistency for all subscales of the multifaceted questionnaire. A very strong correlation between the overall satisfaction subscale and Kunin’s job satisfaction scale provided support for the concurrent validity of the new questionnaire. Moderate-to-strong correlations between satisfaction subscales and overall satisfaction, organizational commitment, intention to leave the organization, and NPS provided evidence of convergent validity. The factor validity of the questionnaire was supported by confirmatory factor analysis, which showed very good fit of the data to the theoretical multifaceted model of job satisfaction. The validation study also included the development of indicative norms for the Czech working population. Conclusion: The Czech Multifaceted Job Satisfaction Questionnaire is a valid method suitable for both research and job satisfaction surveys in organizations. Limitations: The study sample was large enough to establish norms for the entire population but too small to establish specific norms for individual economic sectors. The sample drawn from the general population was more heterogeneous than the employee populations of individual organizations. Therefore, the psychometric characteristics of the questionnaire may vary significantly across specific subpopulations. |
