Background: Job enthusiasm refers to the amount of use of physical, mental and mental strength of people in doing tasks related to their role. Low work enthusiasm among employees causes organizational commitment and low job satisfaction, errors, accidents and injuries in performing job duties. Therefore, according to the little research evidence in the field of the research topic, identifying and measuring the job enthusiasm of employees is essential and necessary to prevent organizational and psychological problems.
Aims: This research was conducted with the aim of investigating the psychometric properties of Shaufeli's job enthusiasm scale among teachers in Damghan city.
Methods: In terms of the fundamental-applied goal, and in terms of the type of information gathering, the present research is a questionnaire survey, and in terms of methodology, it is considered one of the test-making studies, which was conducted in the form of a correlational research project. The statistical population of the present study included all teachers (N = 1267) and secondary school students(N=2621) of Damghan city in the academic year of 2001-2001. Among the statistical population, 460 teachers (310 women, 150 men) and 460 students (255 girls, 205 boys) were selected by multi-stage random cluster sampling. The teachers responded to the Schaufeli job enthusiasm scale (2013) and the students responded to the academic motivation scale of vallerand et al. (1992). The analysis of research data was done through confirmatory factor analysis and with SPSS24 and AMOS26 software.
Results: The results confirmatory factor analysis showed that the three-factor structure of the scale has an acceptable fit with the data and all the fit indices confirmed the fit of the model. Also, in order to estimate the convergent validity, the Pearson correlation results showed that there were positive and significant relationships between the components of the job enthusiasm scale and the components of the academic motivation scale of Vallerand et al. (1992) (P<0.05). Also, the validity of the components of this scale was suitable using Cronbach's alpha method.
Conclusion: Overall, the results of the present study provided evidence for the validity and reliability of the job enthusiasm questionnaire as a tool for measuring job enthusiasm with the components of strength, commitment and attraction in order to promote and improve teachers' job performance. Therefore, it can be used by teachers, researchers, therapists and counselors as a valid and valid tool
