A Psychometric Examination of the Multidimensional Work Ethic Profile Among Ar Force Enlisted Personnel
Abstract
The present study presents an examination of the psychometric properties of the Multidimensional Work Ethic Profile (MWEP) developed by Michael Miller and David Woehr (Miller & Woehr, 1997; Woehr & Miller, 1997). The MWEP is a multidimensional measure of work ethics based on previous research and literature focusing on work ethic and job performance. Originally developed based on a sample of university students, the MWEP has demonstrated good psychometric characteristics including convergent and discriminate validity. The MWEP has been suggested as a potentially valuable screening tool with Air Force enlisted personnel. The purpose of the present study was to provide a preliminary evaluation of the measure among Air Force enlisted personnel. Results indicate that the measure does in fact demonstrate similar psychometric characteristics among Air Force enlisted personnel as with the original development sample. The MWEP provides reliable and valid measures of multiple dimensions underlying the work ethic contract. These results indicate that the MWEP may be a useful screening tool for Air Force personnel.
