Engineer specific job demand scale development

Abstract

This research study was carried out with the aims to formulate new measuring, which focuses on the measuring of job demands in the context of engineer’s job. The content of ESJD scale was validated via expert assessment using the Delphi Method (30 experts). Descriptive statistics, analysis factor with promax rotation, correlation analysis, linear regression analysis and one-way MANOVA test were used in this study to analyse the samples of registered engineers in Malaysia (N=504). The study showed satisfactory reliability and validity results for the new scale. The results of this study are expected to provide information to the management, administrators and organisational leaders in managing risks that affect the level of stress, psychological wellbeing and their impact on the level of professional commitment among engineers as well as the best method of implementing them.
