Within research on the quality of working life the variables of trust, organizational commitment and the fulfilment of personal needs play an important part. Yet relevant measures with adequate psychometric support are difficult to locate, especially ones applicable to blue-collar British working populations. The present paper introduces new measures of these variables, each of which has a number of subscales. Internal homogeneity, reliability and factor analytic data are described which show the scales to be psychometrically adequate and stable. To support the future use of the measures for diagnostic and evaluative purposes, normative data are also provided.

Two studies of 590 male manual workers (20–64 yrs old) are described, in which 8 scales relevant to the quality of working life are introduced and assessed. They cover work involvement, intrinsic job motivation, higher order need strength, perceived intrinsic job characteristics, job satisfaction, life satisfaction, happiness, and self-rated anxiety. Components of job and life satisfaction, derived through cluster analyses, are also identified. The scales are shown to have good internal reliability and to be factorially separate. Comprehensive psychometric data are provided as a baseline for future applications. (50 ref) (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2012 APA, all rights reserved)

... The informal exchanges, interactions and communications that facilitate processes of familiarization in face-to-face groups are constrained in virtual settings (Abi Saad & Agogué, 2023). Trust here is defined as the willingness of an individual to be vulnerable to the actions of another (Mayer et al, 1995), based on a positive expectation regarding the other, in a situation which entails risk to the trusting individual (Baba, 1999;Cook & Wall, 1980;Currall & Judge, 1995). Past research has shown that trust develops in virtual teams through both situational cues (Dibben, 2000), and with increased familiarity between team members (Lewicki & Bunker, 1995;Panteli, 2004). ...
