A Study on the Development and Validation of Counselors Job Demands-Resources Scale

The purpose of this study was to develop a job demands-resources scale for counselors and verified its validity. The study method shows as follows. The interviews were conducted with 16 counselors to develop final preliminary questions. The scale was developed using statistical item analysis, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis surveys with 514 counselors in national. First of all, exploratory factor analysis was conducted to 150 counselors with SPSS 25.0. Also sampled 364 new counselors and performed a confirmative factor analysis using AMOS 25.0 to validate factors-related indicators. The results are as follows: First, the result of confirmative factor analysis, the factor structure determined by the verified measure of counselor job demands was found to be 3 factors in a total of 15 items (role conflict, quantitative workload, and qualitative workload). In addition, the job resources scale decision factor structure was shown in a total of 27 items with 5 factors (profession development opportunity, autonomy, social support, pay, and sense of calling). Second, the credibility survey of the counselor’s job demand-resource scale found that Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was sufficient at .91, .89, respectively. Third, Confirmative factor analysis to establish construct validity suggested that all indices of model fit, construct reliability, and average variance extract AVE were met by criteria recommended, which represented both convergent and discriminant validity of scales developed were satisfactory and sufficient. In conclusion, the results indicated that this scale is a reliable instrument for assessing counselor’s job demands-resources.
