Employees from three Colombian samples completed the questionnaire(N = 831). Confirmatory factor analyses revealed a 21-factor structure (2/df ratio = 2.40, SRMR = .06,RMSEA = .04, CFI = .90) with adequate levels of convergent and discriminant validity. Additional supportfor construct validity was found from significant differences among different occupational groups (pro-fessional and nonprofessional, health-focused, commercial, and manufacturing workers). Furthermore,knowledge, social, and work context characteristics showed incremental validity over task characteristicson job satisfaction and perceived performance. Possible interpretations of these relationships are offered.It is concluded that the study provides evidence for the validity of a Spanish version of the scale, andpresents further support for the generalization of the 21-factor structure of work design characteristicsin different cultural settings. 2015 artículo científico 1576-5962 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=231343095007 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=2313 Revista de Psicología del Trabajo y de las Organizaciones application/pdf Colegio Oficial de la Psicología de Madrid Revista de Psicología del Trabajo y de las Organizaciones (España) Num.3 Vol.31
