Abstract: (17 Views)
Introduction: Psychosocial factors in the workplace are considered significant occupational hazards in the field of ergonomics and occupational health. Planning to reduce these factors and promote employees' occupational health has been widely recommended. Several tools exist for assessing these factors, among which the Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire (COPSOQ) is one of the most reliable instruments. This study aimed to review the applications of the Persian version of the COPSOQ.
Materials and Methods: This scoping review was conducted through a systematic search in international databases, including Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, and Google Scholar, as well as reputable Persian databases such as SID and ISC, within the timeframe of 2005 to 2024. Studies were selected based on inclusion criteria and relevance to the research question.
Results: The initial search identified 126 documents, of which 16 studies were analyzed after the final screening. Four studies examined the psychometric properties of the first, second, and third versions of COPSOQ, all confirming the validity and reliability of the tool for use in Iranian workplaces. One study highlighted the comprehensiveness of this tool for assessing psychosocial hazards in the workplace. Eleven studies explored various psychosocial dimensions of the workplace using different versions of COPSOQ, emphasizing the importance of improving these factors to enhance employee health and efficiency.
Conclusion: Over the past 19 years, different versions of COPSOQ have evolved, enabling a comprehensive evaluation of psychosocial dimensions in the workplace. Localizing this tool and adding new subscales in line with recent occupational changes, such as emerging technologies and virtual interactions, could improve its applicability.
