PORTRAIT OF PRACTICES RELATED TO THE USE OF THE STANFORD PRESENTEEISM SCALE (SPS-6) IN RESEARCH: A STUDY COMPARING THE PROPERTIES OF THREE DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF THE INSTRUMENT
This study examines practices linked to the usages of the Stanford Presenteeism Scale (SPS-6), an instrument commonly used in presenteeism research. 238 workers divided into three groups participated to this study: one completing the questionnaire in its original version and the other responding to one of the two experimental versions (one whose items are positively worded and the other whose items are negatively worded). The results show that the experimental versions have a unidimensional structure and correlational patterns similar to those of the original version. Guides for the use of the different versions of the SPS-6 are discussed in conclusion.
