| contents | The Work Agentic Capabilities (WAC) Questionnaire: Validation of a New Measure Roberto Cenciotti Laura Borgogni Chiara Consiglio Emiliano Fedeli Guido Alessandri Psicología Validation Measurement Agentic capabilities Social cognitive theory Agentic capabilities refer to the basic capabilities of mind that, according to social cognitive theory, allow people to proactively influence their functioning and external context. This study presents a new scale, namely the Work Agentic Capabilities (WAC) questionnaire, that consists of 28 items and measures forethought capability, self-regulation capability, self-reflection capability and vicarious capability in the organizational context. Accordingly, an exploratory (N = 290) and a confirmatory factor analysis (N = 300) demonstrated a four-factor structure. Agentic capabilities were positively correlated with psychological capital and its dimensions i.e., self-efficacy, hope, optimism and resiliency), positive job attitudes (work engagement and job satisfaction), proactive organizational behaviours (job crafting and organizational citizenship behaviours), perceived job performance, and promotion prospects. Finally, we discuss meaningful differences in the mean values of agentic capabilities associated with sociodemographic and organizational variables. Results suggest that the WAC questionnaire can be reliably used to measure agentic capabilities. 2020 artículo científico 1576-5962 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=231365058002 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/2313/231365058002/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/2313/231365058002/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/2313/231365058002/231365058002.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/2313/231365058002/movil 10.5093/jwop2020a19 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.36 |
