摘要

This thesis describes the process of conducting the forward-back translation of the Job Descriptive Index (JDI) job satisfaction measures to/from Japanese. Data for this study was drawn from a focus group case study in Japan among the four Industrial-Organizational Psychology (I/OP)-competent Japanese university professors recruited to do the forward-back translation. A comparison between Human Translation (HT) and Machine Translation (MT) was also conducted. One major finding from the focus group was the group's expression that the use of MT tools would have been useful rather than relying solely on themselves as HT. A by-product of this thesis was the creation of six pre-validation international surveys, three quick reference guides, and two scoring sheets for use in Japan by anyone who wants to use them for his or her own research. The single largest finding of this thesis for the benefit of technical editors was learning the full depth of what kind of translation is being conducted. In this case not even the translation team knew that for the final surveys to be recognized as legitimate international surveys a Measurement Equivalence/Invariance (ME/I) test would have to be conducted prior to validation---a highly advanced area of statistics known as Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The role of the technical editor (i.e., the researcher) for the translation project of this thesis was that of an organizer: assembling the translation team, overseeing their work, amassing the draft material, securing the final product. Actual hand-editing is not the only task of an editor; securing the final product transcends everything. The goal of this thesis was to expose the relationship between technical editors and translation teams. In this case, the technical editor served as a facilitator, and the opinion of the researcher is that that is the most important function of any technical editor: getting the final product delivered, period.
