I am looking for a easy-to-use, but reliable scale for "meaningfulness of work" with not to many items... Thanks!
I haven't found scales for measuring 'meaningfulness of work'. However, in the workplace spirituality scale, one of its dimensions is 'Meaningful Work'. Please refer: Ashoms, D., & Duchon, D. (2000). Spirituality at work: A conceptualization and measure. Journal of Management Inquiry, 9(2), 124-145. http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/105649260092008.

Auf Seite 3/4 geht es um Skalen zur Meaningfulness of Work
Hirschi (2012) has a German translation of the Bunderson & Thompson (2009) scale.

Maybe have a look in my Handbook of Management Scales (or related scales handbooks): https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Handbook_of_Management_Scales
"To assess work meaningfulness, we administrated three face valid questions: ‘I feel that my work has a meaning,’ ‘My work gives me a feeling of meaningfulness,’ and ‘Our work community does something valuable.’ The participants were asked to rate the extent to which they agreed with these statements on a scale from 1 (do not agree) to 7 (fully agree) (α = 0.91)."
