Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Work engagement
Time Frame: Change from baseline to post-intervention (approximately 6 weeks).
Work engagement will be measured with the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES-9). It has 9 items that form three dimensions, each with 3 items: vigor (e.g., "At my work, I feel bursting with energy"), dedication (e.g., "I am enthusiastic about my job"), and absorption (e.g., "I am immersed in my work"). This measure uses a 7-point agreement scale (0 = never, 6 = always).
Psychological capital (PsyCap)
Time Frame: Change from baseline to post-intervention (approximately 6 weeks).
Psychological capital will be measured with the 12-item Psychological Capital Questionnaire. It has four subscales: hope ("At the moment, I feel quite fulfilled at work."), self-efficacy ("I feel confident presenting information to a group of colleagues."), resilience ("Usually, at work, I easily get over the stressful aspects."), and optimism ("I am optimistic about what will happen to me in the future regarding my job."). All 12-item are reported on a 6-point Likert scale (1 = strongly disagree, 6 = strongly agree).
Strengths use
Time Frame: Change from baseline to post-intervention (approximately 6 weeks).
Strengths use will be measured with a set of six items, rated on a 0 (almost never) to 6 (almost always) Likert scale. A sample item is "I seek opportunities to do my work in a manner that best suits my strong points".
Secondary Outcomes
- Burnout(Change from baseline to post-intervention (approximately 6 weeks).)
- Employability(Change from baseline to post-intervention (approximately 6 weeks).)
- Job satisfaction(Change from baseline to post-intervention (approximately 6 weeks).)
- Positive affect(Change from baseline to post-intervention (approximately 6 weeks).)
- Job performance(Change from baseline to post-intervention (approximately 6 weeks).)
- Life satisfaction(Change from baseline to post-intervention (approximately 6 weeks).)
