Results Findings obtained are satisfactory, indicating excellent fit (CFI and TLI values ranged from 0.96 to 0.99, RMSEA values ranged from 0.03 to 0.07), sound internal consistency of scales (Cronbach's - values exceeded 0.7) and factor structures consistent with theory. Conclusions Italian version of the questionnaire is faithful to the original and allows for efficient and robust measurement of workers' well-being.
