WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Individual Work Performance Questionnaire (IWPQ) Test

arrange work behavior

This measure provides a brief self-report assessment of work-related behaviors using the Individual Work Performance Questionnaire (IWPQ). It is intended to support a structured description of perceived performance in typical workplace settings.

The questionnaire includes 18 items and takes about 4 minutes to complete. Content is organized around task performance, contextual performance (e.g., behaviors that support the work environment and collaboration), and counterproductive work behavior. Development is commonly attributed to Hildebrandt, V. H., Bernaards, C. M., and Koopmans, L.

In applied settings, the Individual Work Performance Questionnaire (IWPQ) may be used to inform individual feedback, team-level discussions, and program evaluation when interpreted alongside other relevant sources of information and the respondent’s work context.
