摘要：The aim of the current study was to evaluate the psychometr ic characteristics (i.e., the valid ity and the reliability) of the Sh ort Inventory on Stress and Well-bein g (S-ISW), in particular the part of the S-ISW that measures well-being. The S-ISW is developed by ISW Limits in both Dutch and French and measures the followin g well-being indicators: strain, motivation and negative acts at work, which can be considered as possible outcome variables or employees' reactions to the per ceived work situation. Four samples (N 1 = 17,781; N 2 = 462; N 3 = 264; N 4 = 3596) were used to p erform analyses, with longitudinal data available for Sample 2 and 3. The results supported the three-factor structure of the S-ISW (factor validity) and the in variance of this factor structure between the Dutch and the French S-ISW. Furthermore, we established the content similarity of strain and motivation with negative stress and positive stress, r espectively, supporting the construct valid ity of th e S-ISW. The predictive validity of the well-being indicators was established using measures of absenteeism and doctor consultations. Finally, the S -ISW was reliable, as the indicators of well-being sh owed h igh test-r etest reliability and adequate internal consistency. The part of the S- ISW that measures well-being is thus both valid and reliable, and may be a helpful instrument in conducting research to aid organizations in the development of their well-being p olicy
