Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Change in Quality of Work Life as Measured by Quality of Work Life Questionnaire (QWLQ) Total Score

  The QWLQ will be used to assess multiple dimensions of work-related quality of life, including work tasks, workplace environment and conditions, self-esteem as a worker, sense of belonging to a workgroup, and relationships with coworkers/supervisors. The questionnaire consists of 40 items rated on a 4-point Likert scale (1 = completely disagree to 5 = completely agree). Total scores range 40-200, with higher scores indicating greater perceived quality of work life.

  Assessed at baseline (pre-intervention), immediately after the intervention, and at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months post-intervention

Secondary Outcomes (8)

• Change in Psychological Need States at Work Scale (PNSW-S) Score

  Assessed at baseline (pre-intervention), immediately after the intervention, and at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months post-intervention

• Change in Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire-Short Form (MSQ-SF) Scores

  Assessed at baseline (pre-intervention), immediately after the intervention, and at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months post-intervention

• Change in Index of Psychological Well-Being at Work (IPWBW) Score

  Assessed at baseline (pre-intervention), immediately after the intervention, and at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months post-intervention

• Change in Individual Self-Esteem as a Worker (ISEW) Scale Score

  Assessed at baseline (pre-intervention), immediately after the intervention, and at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months post-intervention

• Change in Occupational Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Version (OSES) Score

  Assessed at baseline (pre-intervention), immediately after the intervention, and at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months post-intervention
