Abstract

Abstract. Introduction: To account for fast-paced developments at work, hybrid work characteristics (HWCs) were introduced. To measure them, an English instrument was developed by Xie et al. (2019) . HWCs encompass more than one work characteristics domain such as the task, social, or contextual domain and include boundarylessness, multitasking, the demand for constant learning, and non-work-related interruptions and are associated with employee attitudes and well-being. Objectives: We validated a German translation of the HWC scale. Method: Using employee samples from Germany ( N = 391) and the United Kingdom ( N = 400), we assessed the quality of the German translation. Results: The German version was internally consistent, showed an acceptable model fit, and reached a scalar level of measurement invariance. The HWCs are related to employee attitudes and well-being. Conclusion: We recommend the use of the German translation of the HWC scale, as our results support its reliability and validity.
