A one\u2010factor structure was identified for WAI. Internal consistency was acceptable (Cronbach's alpha\u2009=\u20090.725). Convergent validity was demonstrated by correlation with conceptually related measures including work productivity (rho\u2009=\u20090.586), coping (rho\u2009=\u20090.457), general health (rho\u2009=\u20090.497), and fatigue (rho\u2009=\u20090.527). Known\u2010groups validity was demonstrated by significant difference in WAI score between participants with and without arthritis (37.6 vs. 42.1,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001). Compared to WAS, WAInodis exhibited stronger potential as a proxy, with stronger correlation with WAI (rho\u2009=\u20090.961 vs. 0.763), smaller difference from WAI (mean\u2009=\u2009\u22121.0 vs. 49.5), and stronger correlations with conceptually related measures.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>WAI demonstrated relatively good psychometric properties among individuals with arthritis, adding to the literature supporting its role in assessing work ability, although further evaluation is needed.
