摘要：This paper describes the development and validation of an instrument for measuring work-related learning, which can be applied in different occupational contexts. Based on a comprehensive literature review and group discussions among the authors, the instrument was carefully constructed and examined among a heterogeneous sample of Flemish employees ( N = 3232). The dataset was randomly divided into two subsets. An exploratory factor analysis was conducted on the first dataset ( n = 1616) to provide insight into the underlying structure of the instrument. The second subset of the data ( n = 1616) was used to validate the retrieved structure by means of a confirmatory factor analysis and to investigate the internal consistencies, convergent and discriminant validity, and the measurement invariance across different groups. After six months, the instrument was retested among the same respondents to examine longitudinal measurement invariance and predictive validity. The results showed that three factors could be distinguished and confirmed, namely informal learning activities using personal sources, informal learning activities using environmental sources, and formal learning activities. The results regarding the reliability and validity of the instrument were satisfactory.
