Abstract
Most of Indonesia's workers are informal laborers, and they face distinct socio-economic problems that may affect how they feel about their well-being. This study aims to evaluate the contextual fit of the WHOQOL-BREF among Indonesian informal laborers using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). There was a cross-sectional study with 31 female informal workers from metropolitan Indonesia. The 26-item WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire was filled out by the participants. We used Maximum Likelihood Estimation to check the model fit, factor loadings, internal consistency, and convergent validity. The unidimensional model did not fit well (CFI = 0.500; TLI = 0.457; RMSEA = 0.196; SRMR = 0.126). One item had a negative loading, and a few others did not have any effect. The internal consistency was high (Cronbach's α = 0.905), but the Average Variance Extracted (AVE = 0.349) showed that the convergent validity was not good enough.
