Outlines of the WEBA-instrument : A conditional approach for the assessment of the quality of work
report
The WEBA is a new instrument with a modern character for the assessment of the quality of work. This character originates from the specific demands of the initiator of the research (the Dutch Ministry for Social Affairs and Employment) to construct an instrument that takes as point of reference the state of the art in relevant sciences. In a number of ways the instrument advances this character. The instrument uses actual insights in the nature of and the conditions under which stress and learning originate during work. Also a link is sought with the most developed design theories. And in conclusion the WEBA coincides with the implementation goals of the Dutch Working Environment Act which becomes operational in 1990. Useful and practical instruments form a conditio sine qua non for the self-activation of enterprises and research. The state of the art in the sciences of labour is certainly not a static concept, especially from an international point of view.
