Researchers developed an instrumental cross-sectional study on a non-probabilistic sample of workers (nArgentina = 663, nBrazil = 672). The results indicate that the scale is invariant at configural (SBχ2/ gl = 2.06, GFI = .96, CFI = .97, RMSEA = .03), metric (δGFI = .009, δCFI = .008, δRMSEA = .006), and scalar levels (δGFI = .007, δCFI = .009, δRMSEA = .004); whereas, partially invariant at a strict level. In turn, the comparison of latent and observed means shows that Brazilian participants are more satisfied with their jobs (MBrazil = 3.86, SDBrazil = .91, MArgentina = 3.52, SDArgentina = .90, t = 8.54, p < .000; CR = 11.062, p <.000), although it is in small effects (d = .37; r = .18). The results obtained indicate that the scale is adjusted to the model of strict factorial invariance, except for three of its items that only reached strong invariance. 2020 artículo científico 1794-4724 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=79963994007 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/799/79963994007/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/799/79963994007/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/799/79963994007/79963994007.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/799/79963994007/movil https://doi.org/10.12804/revistas.urosario.edu.co/apl/a.7477 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=799 Avances en Psicología Latinoamericana application/pdf Universidad del Rosario Avances en Psicología Latinoamericana (Colombia) Num.2 Vol.38 |
