**Well‐being of intensive care nurses (WEBIC): a job analytic approach** **Aims of the study.** This paper presents the results of a validation study of the so‐called well‐being of intensive care nurses (WEBIC)‐questionnaire that is designed to perform a detailed job analysis of intensive care unit (ICU) nurses’ jobs. **Background.** The WEBIC‐questionnaire is based on modern sociotechnical systems theory, and distinguishes four integrated task categories: (1) operational, (2) organizing, (3) preparatory, and (4) supportive tasks.

The construct validity of the WEBIC‐questionnaire was studied by performing hierarchical multiple regression analyses of the WE
