The Job-related Affective Well-being Scale, JAWS is copyrighted. You are welcome to use the JAWS for free under two conditions.

1. The use is for noncommercial educational or research purposes. This means no one is charging anyone a fee.

2. You agree to share results with the authors. This is how we continue to update the norms and bibliography.

1. Mean score for your sample/s

2. Sample size/s

3. Brief description of sample, e.g., 220 hospital nurses. I don't need to know the organization name if it is sensitive.

4. Country where collected, and if outside of the U.S., the language used. I am especially interested in nonAmerican samples.

5. Standard deviation

6. Coefficient alpha (if possible)

7. Copies of research reports (thesis, dissertation, conference paper, journal article, etc.) in which you used the JAWS would be appreciated. Summaries are fine for long documents (e.g., dissertation), and e-mailed documents are preferred if possible (saves copy and postage costs). Be sure to indicate how you want the work cited in the bibliography.

You can send the material to any of the scale authors (Paul T. Van Katwyk, Personnel Decisions International, Suzy Fox, Loyola University Chicago, or E. Kevin Kelloway, University of Guelph), or to the owner of this website via e-mail: spector@chuma.cas.usf.edu or via regular mail: Paul Spector, Department of Psychology, University of South Florida, Tampa, FL 33620 USA.
