Abstract
The present study describes the development of a theoretical model and a questionnaire measuring the perception of Quality of Worklife (QWL) and Occupational Stress (OS), as well as their validation through statistical analyses.
The model and questionnaire are simulated on the field, in an aircraft manufacturing company in Morocco. Validity of the construct, internal coherence and stability in time are measured.
The results of this study show satisfactory psychometric properties and demonstrate the validity of the questionnaire and the developed model.
Keywords: Quality of work life, occupational stress, theoretical model, questionnaire development, questionnaire validation, psychometric properties
