The Self Rated Job Performance Scale: Study on its psychometric properties in Italian workers

The Self-Rated Job Performance Scale (SRJPS) is a six-item self-rated questionnaire measuring job performance. The present research sought to analyse the psychometric properties of the Self-Rated Job Performance Scale (SRJPS) – Italian version in 101 Italian workers. Horn’s parallel analysis and exploratory factor analysis were run to test the dimensionality of the scale. Cronbach’s alpha was assessed to test reliability, whereas convergent validity was investigated with the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES-9) and the Job Satisfaction Scale (JSS). Results showed that a one-factor solution fit the data adequately. Furthermore, Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of reliability was found to be good, in addition, a positive and statistically significant correlation between SRJPS and UWES-9, and between SRJPS and JSS provide evidence of good convergent validity.Thus, the Italian version of the Self-Rated Job Performance Scale shows good results for its use in Italy in research and intervention.
