    El propósito de este estudio fue desarrollar y, posteriormente, validar una versión en español de la Escala Breve de Enriquecimiento Trabajo-Familia (sp-wfes-6). Utilizando datos transversales (n = 438) y longitudinales (n = 103) de una muestra de trabajadores diversos, este artículo realizó un examen exhaustivo de las propiedades psicométricas de la sp-wfes-6 en términos de su consistencia interna, confiabilidad test-retest, dimensionalidad, invariancia factorial, invariancia de género, validez convergente, validez discriminante y validez predictiva. Los resultados del cfa revelaron que la sp-wfes-6 constaba de dos factores y que esta estructura bi-factorial se mantuvo estadísticamente invariable según el género y la muestra. Además, ambos factores reportaron niveles adecuados de consistencia interna, confiabilidad test-retest, validez convergente, validez discriminante y validez predictiva. En conjunto, los hallazgos de este estudio demostraron que la sp-wfes-6 es un instrumento confiable y válido para medir el enriquecimiento trabajo-familia en Argentina y, posiblemente, en otros países hispanoparlantes.

    The purpose of this study was to develop and to, subsequently, validate a Spanish version of the Short Work-Family Enrichment Scale (sp-wfes-6). Using cross-sectional (n = 438) and multi-wave (n = 103) data from a sample of workers with different backgrounds, this paper conducted a thorough examination of the psychometric properties of the sp-wfes-6 in terms of its internal consistency, test-retest reliability, dimensionality, factor invariance, gender invariance, convergent validity, discriminant validity, and predictive validity. The results from the cfa revealed that the sp-wfes-6 comprised two factors and that this two-factor structure remained statistically invariant across gender and sample. Furthermore, both factors reported adequate levels of internal consistency, test-retest reliability, convergent validity, discriminant validity and predictive validity. Altogether, the findings of this study demonstrated that the spwfes-6 is a reliable and valid instrument to measure work-family enrichment in Argentina and, possibly, in other Spanish-speaking countries.
