Monteiro Layrtthon Carlos de Oliveira Santos Luis Augusto de Carvalho Mendes Valdiney Veloso Gouveia Patrícia Nunes da Fonsêca Psicología measure validation psychometrics Work engagement Introduction The study of work engagement is key for better understanding the underlying mechanisms that lead people to feel more motivated at work. The construct has gained prominence over recent decades, and the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES) has emerged as the most popular tool to assess the construct. Though widely known and used, more psychometric evidence is needed for the UWES, especially its item parameters. Method This study (N = 525) aimed to provide psychometric evidence for the UWES and its shortened versions in Brazil, using a range of robust statistical analyses (e.g., Confirmatory Factor Analysis, Item Response Theory).Results Results reveal good model fit and high internal consistency for both unidimensional and three-dimensional UWES structures. UWES items also showed high discrimination, difficulty, and information levels. Finally, significant correlations between UWES and workaholism and job satisfaction provided evidence of the convergent validity of the UWES in Brazil.Conclusion This study’s findings broaden the understanding of work engagement and underscore the utility of the UWES as an efficacious tool for measuring work engagement in Brazil, paving the way for effective interventions and policies in diverse workplace environments. 2023 artículo científico 0121-4381 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=134278542002 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/1342/134278542002/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/1342/134278542002/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/1342/134278542002/134278542002.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/1342/134278542002/movil 10.14349/sumapsi.2023.v30.n2.2 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=1342 Suma Psicológica application/pdf Fundación Universitaria Konrad Lorenz Suma Psicológica (Colombia) Num.2 Vol.30 |
