20.500.12556/RUL-159722 Development and validation of the Workplace Relational Needs Satisfaction Scale (W-RNSS) While inadequate relationships in the workplace pose a significant psychosocial risk, quality interpersonal relationships can contribute to positive effects and prevent negative outcomes. Erskine’s model of relational needs, not yet studied in the work environment, can provide a more detailed understanding of the needs employees experience in their workplace relationships. We adapted the general Relational Needs Satisfaction Scale (RNSS) for coworker relationships and examined the factor structure of relational needs in the workplace and their connections to various work aspects. The sample comprised 273 participants, including both employees and students, in a workplace setting with coworkers. The results show that the Workplace Relational Needs Satisfaction Scale (W-RNSS) is a valid and reliable instrument (α = 0.93 for the total scale and 0.77 < α < 0.89 for the subscales) for measuring relational needs in coworker relationships. A bi-factor model was the most suitable for describing the data (χ2/df = 1.94, CFI = 0.95, TLI = 0.94, NNFI = 0.94, RMSEA = 0.06, SRMR = 0.04, AIC = 13289.27, BIC = 13506.29), confirming the previously supported 5-factor structure and the general factor. Satisfaction of relational needs was associated with higher work satisfaction, increased work engagement, greater motivation and lower burnout, underscoring the importance of quality interpersonal relationships among employees. W-RNSS shows potential for researching connections with other work aspects and practical applications in prevention and intervention strategies. relational needs personnel interpersonal relationships work environment Workplace relational needs satisfaction scale W-RNSS Work-related basic needs satisfaction scale W-BNS Utrecht work engagement scale UWES-9 Work satisfaction scale Oldenburg burnout inventory OLBI relacijske potrebe zaposleni medosebni odnosi delovno okolje Lestvica zadovoljenosti relacijskih potreb na delovnem mestu W-RNSS Lestvica zadovoljenosti z delom povezanih temeljnih potreb W-BNS Vprašalnik delovne zavzetosti UWES-9 Lestvica delovnega zadovoljstva Vprašalnik izgorelosti OLBI true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2024-07-19 09:07:07 2024-07-19 09:07:11 2024-07-21 03:23:06 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2024 0 0 15 str. art. 1419765 Vol. 15 27 Jun. 2024 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2024-06-27 159.9.072:331.104.2 1664-1078 10.3389/fpsyg.2024.1419765 202271235 Zvelc_Development_and_validation_of_the_Workplace_Relational_Needs_Satisfaction_Scale.pdf Zvelc_Development_and_validation_of_the_Workplace_Relational_Needs_Satisfaction_Scale.pdf 1 46D0E40E27469E554669B5388BD924F8 b02a4aab0591c7ce3e30f7a4a1ac64478dea32aba11615b8a39a0bffd3b17fce 0fdcb9e6-45a0-11ef-8f74-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=187862 https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/psychology/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2024.1419765/full 1 7a74f886-459d-11ef-8f74-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=187861 Filozofska fakulteta 0 0 0
