Abstract

Professional resilience is a key factor determining how effectively employees cope with stress and maintain psychological stability; however, Ukraine lacks validated tools for its assessment. The aim of the study was to adapt the Resilience at Work Scale (R@W Scale; P. Winwood, R. Colon, K. McEwen, 2013) to the Ukrainian language and to evaluate its psychometric properties in a sample of employed adults. The adaptation procedure included forward and backward translation, linguistic harmonization, and cultural adaptation of the items. Empirical testing was conducted in two phases. In the first phase, 123 participants completed the survey, and their data were used to assess item discrimination, internal consistency, factor structure, and validity. The second phase involved 78 respondents from the same sample who completed the questionnaire again six months later, allowing the assessment of test-retest reliability and temporal stability. The final Ukrainian-language version of the scale confirmed the 6-factor structure, as the “Interacting Cooperatively” subscale was removed due to its non-compliance with psychometric criteria. As a result, the 6-factor EFA model with 16 items, which formed the basis of The revised Ukrainian-language version of the R@W Scale, explained 74.3% of the variance and demonstrated high purity and stability of factor loadings. The CFA model showed excellent fit indices (CFI=1.000; RMSEA=0.024), and the temporal stability analysis confirmed consistent measurement across time. Convergent validity was supported by significant correlations with measures of general stress resilience and professional resilience. Based on data from the sample of 123 participants, percentile norms were developed to facilitate the interpretation of results.
