Work Environment Scale/Evidence
Method evidence record

Work Environment Scale

The Work Environment Scale (WES) comprehensively measures 10 dimensions of the workplace social and organizational environment: involvement, peer cohesion, supervisor support, autonomy, task orientation, work pressure, clarity, control, innovation, and physical comfort. Developed by Moos and colleagues, the WES captures how the organizational climate—the shared perceptions of and attitudes about the work setting—influences worker wellbeing, satisfaction, and performance. The scale is widely used for organizational assessment, team diagnosis, and evaluation of workplace interventions.
