Σύνοψη	The Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ), developed by Weiss, Dawis, England, and Lofquist in 1967, is a widely used measure of job satisfaction emphasizing intrinsic and extrinsic satisfaction dimensions. Available in long-form (100 items) and short-form (20 items) versions, the MSQ assesses satisfaction with diverse job aspects including achievement, compensation, advancement, and security. It remains a foundational instrument in vocational and organizational psychology.	The Work Ability Index (WAI), developed by Tuomi and colleagues at the Finnish Institute of Occupational Health in 1998, is a validated self-assessment instrument measuring the ability to perform work. The WAI comprises seven dimensions: current work ability compared to lifetime best, work ability relative to job demands, number of diagnosed diseases, absenteeism, prognosis, mental resources, and productivity. It is widely used in occupational health surveillance, aging-workforce management, and return-to-work programs.
