Objective: To test the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of Individual Authenticity Measure at Work (IAM Work).Methods: The reliability and validity of the IAM Work was tested using a sample size of 657 employees.To evaluate the validity of the IAM Work,214 employees were randomly selected to test with the IAM Work,UWES-9,Voice Behavior Scale,and the Employee Occupational Well-being in Chinese Enterprises Scale.These employees were retested two months later.Results: Confirmatory factor analysis supported the three-factor structure model.The fitted indices are χ2/df=2.61,NFI=0.94,CFI=0.96,IFI=0.96,GFI=0.93,AGFI=0.91,RMSEA=0.05,and the fitted indices for the short version are χ2/df=2.99,NFI=0.97,CFI=0.98,IFI=0.98,GFI=0.96,AGFI=0.94,RMSEA=0.06.The critical ratios of all the items were statistically significant (P<0.001),and the correlations between each item and the total score ranged from 0.46 to 0.77.The Cronbach's α coefficients of the total scale,authentic living,self-alienation,and accepting external influence subscale were 0.92,0.90,0.93 and 0.91 respectively.The Cronbach's α coefficients for the short version are 0.89,0.83,0.92 and 0.92 respectively.The test-retest reliability after 2 months is 0.79 for the full scale and 0.78 for the short version.The total scores of both the Chinese version of IAM Work and the short version showed significant positive correlations with occupational well-being (r=0.67,0.58,P<0.01),work engagement (r=0.50,0.43,P<0.01),and the Voice Behavior Scale total score (r=0.34,0.23,P<0.01).Conclusion: Both Chinese version of IAM Work and the short version are reliable,valid,and suitable for measuring the authenticity of Chinese employees.
