La Felicidad es un estado afectivo positivo caracterizado por el disfrute, la gratificación y el encuentro de sentido en la vida. El Authentic Happines Inventory (AHI) es un instrumento diseñado para medir estas tres dimensiones. En este estudio se evalúan sus propiedades psicométricas con una muestra de 802 trabajadores colombianos. El objetivo es verificar si la escala permite medir, además de la Felicidad en la Vida, la Felicidad en el Trabajo. Para ello se pidió a los participantes responder cada ítem dos veces, primero pensando en su vida en general y luego en su trabajo. Se revisó la validez convergente utilizando la Subjective With Life Scale (SWLS). La confiabilidad se estimó con el Alpha de Cronbach y se hizo un análisis factorial confirmatorio para apreciar la estructura de la escala. Estas condiciones se verificaron en las dos versiones de la prueba. Las correlaciones altas y positivas entre Satisfacción con la Vida y Felicidad (en el Trabajo y en la Vida) ofrecieron evidencia de validez convergente. El Análisis Factorial confirmatorio reveló ajuste de los datos a la estructura tridimensional propuesta y se encontró una adecuada consistencia interna. Las propiedades del instrumento indican que se trata de una escala apta para la evaluación de la Felicidad en la Vida y en el Trabajo en población colombiana trabajadora.Resumen alternativo:Happiness is a positive affect, characterized by enjoyment, gratification and sense of life. The Authentic Happiness Inventory (AHI) is an instrument developed for measurement these three aspects. In this study, psychometric proprieties of instrument are reviewed with a sample of 802 Colombian Workers. The objective is to verify if it is an appropriated measure of happiness at life and happiness at work. We ask participants answer each item twice, first they had to think in their life and later in their work. The Subjective With Life Scale (SWLS) was used to verify the convergent validity. Reliability was explored with Cronbach's alpha. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was calculated to evaluate the structure ofthe scale. These conditions were reviewed in both, happiness and happiness at work. The high and positive correlations between SWLS and AHI are evidence of convergent validity. FCA revealed goodness of fit of tridimensional structure. The instrument have high levels of consistency. These results suggest that instrument is apt to measure happiness and happiness at work in Colombian Workers.
