GUTIERREZ-CARVAJAL, Oscar Iván et al. Validation of the Job Crafting scale in Latin American workers. Anal. Psicol. [online]. 2022, vol.38, n.1, pp.139-148. Epub 13-Jun-2022. ISSN 1695-2294. https://dx.doi.org/10.6018/analesps.472261.
In this study, the psychometric properties of the Spanish version (Bakker et al., 2018) of the Job Crafting scale of Tims et al. (2012), was analyzed in a Latin American population. We applied the scale to a sample of 903 employees (42.6% women & 57.4% men) from Colombia and Ecuador. Reliability and validity were examined. The results of the confirmatory factor analysis showed an adequate fit both in Colombia (CFI = .916, TLI = .900, IFI = .917, RMSEA = .060) and in Ecuador (CFI = .918, TLI = .903, IFI = .919, RMSEA = .064), in the four-factor structure of the original scale. Evidence of validation, related to criterion for psychological well-being for the dimensions of increasing structural resources and increasing challenging demands, was found. The Spanish version of the scale demonstrates its usefulness for research in the Latin American context.
