El objetivo de este estudio es determinar las propiedades psicométricas de la Escala de Pasión por el Trabajo de Vallerand et al. (2003) traducida por Orgambidez-Ramos et al. (2014) y diferenciar el concepto de pasión por el trabajo de engagement en el trabajo, la centralidad del trabajo, la motivación intrínseca y el significado del trabajo. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 1,016 personas de diversos sectores laborales trabajando en Puerto Rico. Nuestros resultados confirman la estructura bi-factorial de la escala (pasión armoniosa y pasión obsesiva) con niveles de confiabilidad aceptables. Concluimos que la escala es un instrumento adecuado para el uso en el contexto laboral puertorriqueño y que la pasión por el trabajo es una aportación única a la literatura académica de la psicología ocupacional.Resumen alternativo:The purpose of this study is to determine the psychometric properties of the Passion for Work Scale of Vallerand et al. (2003) translated to Spanish by Orgambídez-Ramos et al. (2014); and to differentiate passion for work from work engagement, work centrality, intrinsic motivation, and meaning of work. The sample consisted of 1,016 participants from various industries working in Puerto Rico. Our results indicate that the two-factor structure (harmonious passion and obsessive passion) is the most appropriate and has adequate reliability measures. The Passion for Work Scale is an adequate instrument for use in the Puerto Rican context and passion for work is a unique contribution to the academic literature of occupational psychology.
The Orientation With Life Scale measures optimism. In this study we verify their psychometric properties with a 791 Colombian worker sample. It is also explored if it is useful by to measure organizational and work optimism. Participants were asked to answer each item thinking about their life, their company and their work. Convergent validity was revised using the Subjective With Life Scale (SWLS). Internal consistency was estimated using the composite reliability and Cronbach's Alpha. The structure of the scale was explored with confirmatory factorial analysis (CFA). There were high, significant and positive correlations between Satisfaction with Life and Optimism and negatives with Pessimism. AFC showed adjustment of the two-dimensional structure. Adequate internal consistency was found. The findings indicate that scale is appropriate for the measurement of optimism/pessimism in life, organizations and work
