VALIDACIÓN DE UNA ESCALA DE TRABAJO DECENTE EN MÉXICO
Abstract
The purpose of this research was to analyze the validity of the Decent Work Scale (DWS) for employees of medium-sized companies in Mexico. Instrumental design study in a sample of 1,164 employees of medium-sized companies (54% women) between 15 and 77 years old. The confirmatory factor analysis supported the five-factor model, reporting adequate fit indices (p-value <.01, NFI= .97, IFI= .98, TLI= .97, CFI= .98, CMIN/DF= 2.27, SRMR = .027 and RMSEA= .033); The estimated factor loadings support the convergent validity of the scale. The reliability of the instrument is adequate (α=.773). The DWS has psychometric properties that indicate adequate content, convergent validity and reliability for measuring Decent Work in employees of medium-sized companies. This scale can be used in the diagnosis of actions related to decent work that companies implement, for the design and execution of action development programs focused on improving the quality of life of employees in support of compliance with that is proposed in the Sustainable Development Goal 8 (SDG08) of the 2030 Agenda.References
