Stressbezogene Arbeitsanalyse bei kultureller Diversität

Entwicklung eines Screeninginstruments für interkulturelle Belegschaften in un- und angelernten Berufen

Abstract

Die zunehmende kulturelle Heterogenisierung der Belegschaften deutscher Unternehmen stellt neue Anforderungen an arbeitswissenschaftliche Instrumente. Skalen des Instruments zur stressbezogenen Tätigkeitsanalyse (ISTA) und zu Stressoren und Ressourcen des sozialen Arbeitsumfelds wurden für den Einsatz bei kulturell heterogenen Belegschaften in un- und angelernten Tätigkeiten adaptiert. Mit dem Screeninginstrument wurden 226 Migranten und 222 Deutsche in überwiegend un- und angelernten Tätigkeiten befragt. Die Dimensionalität von zwölf Skalen zu aufgabenbezogenen und sozialen Stressoren und Ressourcen wird mittels konfirmatorischer Faktorenanalysen zunächst bestätigt. Interne Konsistenzen sind weitgehend zufriedenstellend und Partialkorrelationen mit Befindensvariablen weisen auf überwiegend gute Kriteriumsvalidität hin. Unter Ausschluss von zwei Skalen und der Berücksichtigung einiger Besonderheiten für Subgruppen steht für die Befragung interkultureller Belegschaften im Rahmen von Gefährdungsanalysen ein reliables und valides Instrument zur Verfügung.


Stress-related job analysis for culturally diverse workplaces: Developing a survey instrument for a culturally diverse and low-skilled workforce

The cultural diversification of the German workforce requires new standards for job analysis instruments. Based on the German Instrument for Stress-related Job Analysis (ISTA) and existing scales addressing social aspects of the work environment, a questionnaire was developed for assessing stressors and resources among low-skilled workers in a culturally diverse workforce. The sample consists of 226 immigrant and 222 German workers in predominantly low-skilled jobs. The dimensions of twelve scales on task-related and social stressors and resources were supported by confirmatory factor analyses. As a measure for reliability, Cronbach’s alpha revealed sufficient internal consistencies for most scales. Correlations with outcome variables on worker health and well-being confirmed most scales’ construct validity. When excluding two scales and taking differences among subgroups into account, the instrument meets the scientific standards of reliability and validity and can be applied in occupational safety and health research and practice for surveying a culturally diverse workforce of low-skilled workers.
