ResumenEl Test de Orientación en la Vida mide el optimismo. Se verifican aquí sus propiedades psicométricas con una muestra de 791 trabajadores colombianos. Se explora también si permite medir el Optimismo Organizacional y hacia el Trabajo. Se pidió a los participantes responder cada ítem pensando en su vida, en su empresa y en su trabajo. Se revisó la validez convergente utilizando la Subjective Whit Life Scale (SWLS). La consistencia interna se estimó con la fórmula de Confiabilidad Compuesta y con el Alpha de Cronbach. Con un análisis factorial confirmatorio (AFC) se exploró la estructura de la escala. Hubo correlaciones altas, significativas y positivas entre Satisfacción con la Vida y Optimismo y negativas con Pesimismo. El AFC mostró ajuste de la estructura bidimensional. Se encontró una adecuada consistencia interna. Lo hallazgos indican que esta es una escala idónea para la evaluación del Optimismo/Pesimismo en la Vida, la Empresa y el Trabajo.Palabras clave: Optimismo, Pesimismo, Optimismo en la Empresa, Optimismo en el Trabajo, Psicometría Psychometric Verification of the Life Orientation Test (LOT-R)for Colombian Workers. AbstractThe Orientation With Life Scale measures optimism. In this study we verify their psychometric properties with a 791 Colombian worker sample. It is also explored if it is useful by to measure organizational and work optimism. Participants were asked to answer each item thinking about their life, their company and their work. Convergent validity was revised using the Subjective With Life Scale (SWLS). Internal consistency was estimated using the composite reliability and Cronbach's Alpha. The structure of the scale was explored with confirmatory factorial analysis (CFA). There were high, significant and positive correlations between Satisfaction with Life and Optimism and negatives with Pessimism. AFC showed adjustment of the two-dimensional structure. Adequate internal consistency was found. The findings indicate that scale is appropriate for the measurement of optimism/pessimism in life, organizations and work.
