• Description:
  Objective: This article describes development of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Worker Well-being Questionnaire (WellBQ). Methods: The NIOSH WellBQ was developed through literature reviews and expert panel recommendations. We drew from a representative sample of the civilian, noninstitutionalized, U.S. working population to pilot the questionnaire. Psychometric analyses were performed on data from 975 respondents to finalize items and optimize validity. Results: The final questionnaire consists of 16 scales, five indices, and 31 single items across five domains: (1) work evaluation and experience, (2) workplace policies and culture, (3) workplace physical environment and safety climate, (4) health status, and (5) home, community, and society (experiences and activities outside of work). The instrument demonstrated adequate reliability and validity. Conclusions: The NIOSH WellBQ is a reliable and valid instrument that comprehensively measures worker well-being.
