    El objetivo de este estudio fue realizar la adaptación al español del inventario WorkBAT de Spence y Robbins (1992) y analizar sus propie-dades psicométricas. Para ello se administró una versión adaptada al espa-ñol a dos muestras, la primera de ellas de 285 empleados (56.5% mujeres y 43.5% hombres) y la segunda de 342 empleados (52.9% mujeres y 47.1% hombres). A la primera muestra, se aplicó el análisis factorial exploratorio extrayéndose dos subescalas: motivación/implicación y disfute en el traba-jo. A la segunda muestra, se aplicó el análisis factorial confirmatorio (ESEM) replicando los resultados anteriores. Ambas subscalas mostraron una buena fiabilidad. Las puntuaciones obtenidas en las mismas fueron re-lacionadas con diversos correlatos externos y otras escalas mostrando una buena validez convergente y criterial. Los resultados indican que la presente escala puede utilizarse para evaluar la adicción al trabajo y, además, es un instrumento con una apreciable bondad psicométrica. Futuras investigacio-nes podrían utilizar el WorkBAT como una herramienta de screening en combinación con otros instrumentos

    This study aims to carry out an adaptation into Spanish of Spence and Robbins. WorkBAT inventory (1992) and to analyse its psy-chometric properties. With this objective in mind a version adapted into Spanish of two samples, the first consisting of 285 employees (56.5% women and 43.5% men) and the second of 342 employees (52.9% women and 47.1% men). The first sample, after it was subjected to an exploratory factor analysis, yielded two subscales: motivation/commitment and enjoy-ment at work. Confirmatory factor analysis (ESEM) was then applied to the second sample, replicating the previous results. Both subscales showed good reliability. The scores from the scales were then related to various ex-ternal correlates and to other scales and displayed good convergent and cri-terion validity. The findings indicate that the present scale can be used to evaluate workaholism and furthermore that it is fundamentally a psycho-metrically sound instrument. The WorkBAT can be used in future research studies as a screening tool in combination with other instruments
