VALIDATION OF AN INSTRUMENT FOR PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL-BEING SCALE FOR EMPLOYEES IN THE MALAYSIAN MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY
This study aimed to validate an instrument for assessing psychological well-being among employees in the Malaysian manufacturing industry and explore the relationships between key variables of stress, organizational culture, work-life balance, job burnout, and psychological well-being. Data were collected from 30 participants, and composite reliability and average variance extracted (AVE) were calculated to assess the reliability and convergent validity of the measurement model. The results revealed high levels of composite reliability across all domains, with values ranging from 0.85 to 0.94. Additionally, satisfactory AVE values were obtained for each construct, exceeding the recommended threshold of 0.50 and ranging from 0.62 to 0.78. The findings suggest strong internal consistency and reliability of the instrument, supporting its effectiveness in assessing psychological well-being among employees in the Malaysian manufacturing industry. Moreover, significant correlations were found among variables, highlighting the interconnected nature of stress, organizational culture, work-life balance, job burnout, and psychological well-being. Positive organizational culture was associated with higher levels of work-life balance and psychological well-being, while job burnout was negatively correlated with psychological well-being. These findings contribute to theoretical advancements in organizational psychology and human resource management, emphasizing the importance of considering multiple dimensions of psychological well-being in organizational research and practice. By understanding the complex interplay of factors influencing employee well-being, organizations can implement targeted interventions to promote a healthier and more supportive work environment.
