| - | | In the past 4 weeks, how much of the work ti me did your physical | + | The WRFQ measures the perceived difficulties in meeting work demands among employees given their physical health or emotional problems. Although the instrument is developed for a population with health problems, it is suitable for the general working population (and validated in this population).\\ |
| - | | Get going easily | + | Thw WRFQ was originally developed in the United States and has been cross-culturally translated and adapted into Canadian French, Brazilian Portuguese, Spanish and Dutch. All translations have been tested for their measurement properties.\\ |
| - | | Be proactive, show initiative in my work | Ik vond het moeilijk om eigen initiatief te tonen in het werk. | WRFQAA | + | The WRFQ 2.0 measures the perceived difficulties in meeting work demands among workers given their physical health or emotional problems. It consists of 27 items, divided into four subscales: |
| - | | Start on your job as soon as you arrived | + | * work scheduling & output demands |
| - | | Do your work without | + | * physical demands |
| - | | Stick to a routine or schedule | + | * mental & social demands |
| - | | Work fast enough | + | * flexibility demands. |
| - | | Finish | + | Using the WRFQ in lifelines, determinants important for healthy and active ageing (at work) might be identified. An important field, because the working life is a big part of ‘lives’. |

| - | | Satisfy | + | ===== Scoring ===== |
| - | | Feel a sense of accomplishment in your work | + | |
| - | | Feel you have done what you are capable | + | A total score can be calculated. All items have to be answered on a five-point scale from 0=difficult all the time (100%), 1=difficult most of the time, 2=difficult half of the time (50%), 3=difficult some of the time, 4=difficult none of the time (0%). There is a response option ‘Does not apply to my job’. The total score is calculated by adding all answers, dividing by the number of items not missing and then multiplied with 25 to obtain percentages between 0 and 100, with higher scores indicating better work functioning. The scores on ‘Does not apply to my job’ are transformed to missing values. If 20% or more items are missing, the scale score is set to missing. |

| - | | Sit, stand, or stay in one position for longer than 15 minutes while working | + | ===== Validity ===== |

| - | | Use hand-held | + | The WRFQ 2.0 shows very good internal consistency (α), moderate test-retest reliability (ICC), good construct validity and moderate responsiveness in this working sample. The total score and the subscales show no floor effects, but do show ceiling effects. Ten hypotheses were formulated and tested. A total of 9 hypotheses were (partly) confirmed, providing evidence for the construct validity of the WRFQ. Relationships with several other constructs were explored, without pre-defined hypotheses. This provided additional insight into the construct the WRFQ aims to measure. The results show that the WRFQ was able to distinguish between groups with different levels of self-rated general health, mental health, physical health, fatigue, need for recovery and between workers with manual and non-manual jobs. Different levels of decision latitude and psychological job demands showed different scores on the WRFQ in the expected directions, although not all differences were significant |
