engagement en el trabajo, Propiedades Psicométricas, Puerto Rico, UWES-3Resumen
Está comprobado que cuando los empleados están engaged en su trabajo, esto puede beneficiar tanto a las organizaciones como a los trabajadores. En la investigación del engagement en el trabajo, es esencial contar con herramientas científicas que proporcionen inferencias válidas y confiables. Una de las escalas más utilizadas para medir este constructo es la Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES), que a lo largo de los años ha disminuido significativamente su número de ítems, pasando de 25 a solo 3 ítems. Por tanto, el propósito de este estudio es analizar las propiedades psicométricas de la versión ultracorta de la UWES de tres ítems a través del análisis secundario de datos de múltiples estudios con una muestra total de 4,782 participantes. Los resultados demuestran que la versión de tres ítems cuenta con las propiedades psicométricas necesarias para medir el engagement en el contexto laboral de Puerto Rico. En resumen, este estudio proporciona una herramienta de medición efectiva y sencilla para que las organizaciones puedan evaluar el engagement en su personal de manera confiable y eficaz.
