Abstract

Introduction: Effort-reward imbalance (ERI) in the workplace can lead to adverse health impacts. The ERI questionnaire is a validated tool to determine the psychosocial work environment's impact on the health and well-being of workers. The aim of this study is to translate the short version of the ERI questionnaire (16 items) into Malay language (ERI-M) and validate the translated questionnaire among Food Delivery Riders.
Materials and methods: The ERI short version was translated from English to Malay language using forward and backward translation methods. The ERI-M questionnaire was administered to 420 Food Delivery Riders. The structural validity, reliability and criterion validity were evaluated using SPSS version 26 and Smart PLS. Results: The ERI-M displayed fair internal consistency was seen in all domains (Cronbach's ? = 0.55-0.75) and high test-retest reliability (ICC = 0.73-0.85) for all items. EFA and CFA showed that a structure of three factors of effort, over-commitment and two factors of reward (job security and job esteem) in accordance with the ERI model had significant factor loadings and acceptable model fit. The study population showed that ERI levels varied across age, gender, and platform. Conclusion: The ERI-M can be a useful tool to assess the work strain of stress-related health risks among food delivery riders.
