Developing a Standard Measure of Job Quality
针对工作质量测量缺乏科学共识的问题，本研究基于75项实证研究验证了英国国家统计局采用的六维度标准化测量，确认其可靠性和有效性，有助于社会科学研究和政策制定。
The UK government is concerned about job quality. However the lack of scientific consensus about measuring job quality hampers policy efforts to improve the quality of jobs. To address this problem, a standard measure was developed and adopted to report job quality by the UK’s Office for National Statistics. This article outlines a replication study using a new dataset to assess the reliability and validity of this standard measure. The dataset comprises 75 empirical studies that examine job quality in the UK and elsewhere. Using this dataset, the standard measure is confirmed, encompassing six dimensions of job quality. Subsequently, this study establishes both the reproducibility of the measure and the replicability of the methods used to develop that measure. In doing so, the findings will facilitate improved research and policy development along with greater conceptual clarity regarding job quality, long called for by social scientists.
