Résumé
A positive workplace culture of health can have significant benefits for both employees and organizations. The objective of this study was to test the validity and reliability of the Workplace Culture of Health (COH) Scale-Short Form. We conducted a confirmatory factor analysis on data collected from a sample of 12,907 employees across 14 organizations. We examined the construct validity of the 14-item short-form version of the Workplace COH scale and assessed its reliability using internal consistency measures. Our confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated that the Workplace COH Scale-Short Form had strong model fit, indicating good construct validity. In addition, we found that all constructs had strong internal consistency reliability. Findings suggest that the Workplace COH Scale-Short Form is a valid and reliable way to practically assess workplace culture of health from the employee perspective.
