Escala Utrecht de work engagement en Chile: medición, confiabilidad y validez

DOI: 10.5354/0719-0816.2019.55405

Resumen:

Work engagement se describe por dedicación, vigor y absorción. La medida de work engagement más utilizada es la escala de Utrecht (UWES). Esta investigación tiene como objetivo estudiar las propiedades psicométricas de la versión abreviada de dicha escala (UWES-9) en el contexto laboral chileno. Se usó un diseño de encuesta transversal, a una muestra por conveniencia (n = 255). La encuesta usó la escala UWES-9 (Schaufeli & Bakker, 2003), la escala de empoderamiento psicológico de Spreitzer (1995) y la escala de satisfacción laboral genérica (Macdonald & MacIntyre, 1997). Se calculó el índice de confiabilidad (alpha), dando una buena consistencia interna. Las tres dimensiones de la escala se correlacionaron en gran medida por lo que no fue necesario eliminar ítems. Con respecto a la validez de constructo, work engagement se correlacionó en la dirección esperada (positiva) con empoderamiento psicológico y satisfacción laboral. Se discuten implicaciones gerenciales y desafíos para la investigación futura.
