The organizational well-being inside Italian academic institutions measured through the ANAC questionnaire

The evaluation of organizational well-being has gained increasing importance in management policies in recent years, as the elements characterizing this construct influence fundamental aspects of work life within a company. Examples of such aspects include motivation, a sense of belonging to the organization, and the sharing of values and proposed objectives (Avallone and Paplomatas, 2005; Dolan, 2006). Companies have therefore begun to invest time and resources in analyzing this construct, making it a fundamental objective of their interventions. At the national level, this interest is expressed through Legislative Decree 81/2008 (known as the Consolidated Act on the protection of health and safety in the workplace), which introduces the obligation to assess work-related stress risks in the context of occupational health. For this purpose, organizational well-being has been assessed through various measurement tools, among which the most commonly used are psycho-attitudinal tests, professional interest questionnaires, and personality questionnaires. In the specific case of public administrations (see Avallone and Bonaretti, 2003 for specific insights on the topic), Legislative Decree 150/2009 has assigned internal evaluation bodies (OIV) the task of conducting surveys on organizational well-being. The National Anti-Corruption Authority (ANAC) fits into this context by introducing a questionnaire for assessing organizational well-being in public administrations, focusing on the dimensions of organizational well-being, the degree of alignment with the evaluation system, and the assessment of one's immediate superior. This article presents a study aimed at validating this questionnaire by administering it to the administrative and technical staff of the University of Florence.
