Introduction:
Short Index of Job Satisfaction (SIJS).
The Index of Job Satisfaction is a self-report psychometric instrument created by
Brayfield and Rothe [28]. The original version was composed of 18 items,
although a shorter version with five items (SIJS) has also been proposed [29,81].
Subjects are asked to respond to each item by checking a five-point scale (1
–“Strongly Disagree”, 2 –“Disagree”, 3 –“Undecided”, 4 –“Agree”, 5 –“Strongly
Agree”) two of those items have revers scoring (Table 2). Regarding the validity
evidence based on the internal structure in terms of reliability, this shorter five
items version presented a good internal consistency evidence (α = .89) [29].
Scoring: The scale consists of five items. Each item is scored on five-point scale (1
–“Strongly Disagree”, 2 –“Disagree”, 3 –“Undecided”, 4 –“Agree”, 5 –“Strongly
Agree”). Item 3 and 5 are reverse scored. The higher the score on the scale indicate
higher the level of hope.
