LOPEZ-CABARCOS, M.ª Ángeles; VAZQUEZ-RODRIGUEZ, Paula  and  MONTES-PINEIRO, Carlos. Validation of the Galician Version of the CISNEROS Mobbing Measurement Scale. Rev. psicol. trab. organ. [online]. 2009, vol.25, n.3, pp.231-243. ISSN 2174-0534.

The aim of this work is the validation of the Galician version of the CISNEROS mobbing measurement scale, made up of 43 items that measure the mobbing frequency using a scale of 7 points, and at the same time allows the identification of the potential responsibles. So, we carried out a exploratory factor analysis and a confirmatory factor analysis in a multi-sectorial sample of the Galician active population. The results of the exploratory factor analysis indicate the existence of five main factors which explain 60.31% of the total variance and show a high reliability of the scale (a=.96). Subsequently, we compare the three models fit using confirmatory factor analysis. The results indicate that the correlated five-factor model provided the best fit to the data, giving empirical support to the five-factor structure obtained in the exploratory factor analysis.
