Abstract

Work passion is a persistent state of desire, based on cognitive and affective evaluations of job. This has been conceptualized as a two-factor construct (harmonious passion and obsessive passion). The aim of this research was developing an alternative measure of work passion and analyze its psychometric properties. To do this, items were developed based on the Dualistic Model of Passion, we analyze the content validity as well as the psychometric properties of the scale. The obtained results bring evidence of the two-factor structure of the Work Passion Scale and its adequate psychometric properties for being use in research and organizational diagnosis in Puerto Rico.
