Abstract
People are facing a human energy crisis at work, where long hours prevent employees from replenishing their energy resources, leading to low job satisfaction and exhaustion. To alleviate these negative outcomes and improve their vitality, people often use energy management strategies. However, not all strategies are effective, and to use them successfully, individuals might need a good understanding of their energetic flow. This idea can be reflected in Energy Household Clarity (CE), described as understanding one’s energy flow and how to influence it. In the present study, a scale measuring CE is validated using CFA. The study was conducted using a preexisting sample (N = 2374) of German employees who are simultaneously studying. Our results supported our hypothesis, albeit some only partially due to weaker-than-expected correlations. For convergent validity, correlations with mindful awareness and health awareness were tested. In partial support of convergent validity, CE correlated moderately positively with both mindful awareness and health awareness. For discriminant validity, correlations with self-concept clarity and time pressure were tested. Discriminant validity was fully supported with CE showing a weak negative correlation with self-concept clarity (reverse scored) and no relationship with time pressure. For criterionrelated validity, correlations with vitality, work fatigue, and needs-based job crafting were investigated. In partial support of criterion-related validity, CE showed a moderate positive relationship with vitality, a weak negative relationship with work fatigue, and a weak positive relationship with needs-based job crafting. The paper ends by discussing theoretical and practical implications, strengths and limitations, and future directions. Keywords: energy household clarity, human energy management, employee well-being, scale validation
