“…In the framework of one of the stages of content validity assessment at the item level, in the present study, evidence of the possible application of the PROPSIT [43,44] to the Peruvian context and, given the etic approach of its constructs, potentially to other contexts was presented for the first time. This measure was originally created for the Mexican context and represents an advance in the integration of PWF models with more international evidence (effort-reward imbalance, [74]; demand-control, [75]; demandsresources, [47]) and cultural appropriateness coming from PWFs in Mexico [43] but with potential cross-cultural generalization.…”

“…In the present study, the methodological aspects above (i.e., the exploration of nonlinear associations, the nomological network and the quality of the ordinal system) were applied to adapt a new measure of work factors and processes, the scale of the Psychosocial Processes at Work Scale (PROPSIT; [43,44]), to the Peruvian context. The PROPSIT was created to represent the main factors of the work context (e.g., psychological demands, control, rewards) extralabor factors (e.g., family stressors, traffic transfer), mediating psychological effects (e.g., burnout, engagement) and relevant mental health variables (e.g., somatic symptoms and alterations including depression, anxiety, posttraumatic stress) in Mexican workers.…”

The structural attributes and correlates of items have an effect on their composite scores and exploring them strengthens the content validity of a measure adapted to another context. The objective of this study was to evaluate the item properties of a measure of psychosocial work factors (PWFs). Data were collected through a web platform from 188 Peruvian working adults (men = 101, 50.5%) holding various professions and jobs. The instrument was the Psychosocial Processes at Work Scale (PROPSIT), adapted for the Peruvian context. The distributional characteristics, the efficiency of its response options and its correlates with engagement, occupational self-efficacy, general stress and psychological distress (explored with a coefficient of maximum information and another of monotonic association) were analyzed. It was found that the items were asymmetrically distributed, without statistical normality and with a response tendency at low (for psychosocial risk factors (PSRFs)) and medium (favorable psychosocial resources) levels. The number of efficient response options was lower (approximately five options) than the original structure (seven options). The monotonic associations with gender and age were essentially zero and theoretically converged with the external constructs, except for some items related to job demands. The contributions of the results to the content validity of the PROPSIT and the orientation of working hypotheses about PROPSIT item constructs and measures of work effects are discussed.

A pesar de ser etiquetados como la epidemia del siglo XXI, los riesgos psicosociales apenas son evaluados por las organizaciones. La ausencia de una cultura preventiva, el escaso control de fuentes de error en las mediciones o la falta de formación específica podrían explicar la dificultad de evaluar estos riesgos. En este sentido, el principal objetivo de esta investigación estriba en sacar a la luz las posibles debilidades que entorpecen las evaluaciones de riesgos psicosociales de origen laboral, y con ello poder mejorar la prevención de la salud mental y física de los trabadores expuestos al estrés laboral. Se ha realizado consulta directamente a un grupo de reputados académicos y profesionales expertos en la materia, utilizando la metodología Delphi. Los resultados muestran, por una parte, un elevado consenso sobre las principales fuentes de amenaza. Por otra parte, dichos expertos sugieren una serie de directrices prácticas. Como conclusión son identificadas, según el juicio experto, variedad de amenazas que debilitan las evaluaciones psicosociales, a la vez que se recomiendan estrategias de mejora para realizar las evaluaciones de riesgos psicosociales.

The objective of the present research was to determine the degree of validity and reliability of an instrument that measures the perception of the Quality of Work Life to provide elements on the strength of its psychometric properties. A quantitative methodology was used, with a non-experimental design, cross-sectional scope and descriptive type. The sample consisted of 202 workers from three organizations, located in the municipality of Navojoa, Sonora, Mexico, the type of sampling was a convenience fee. Construct validity and reliability tests were formulated for internal consistency. Validity results by varimax rotation indicate that the 15 dimensions of the instrument explain 65.9% of the variance of the instrument results, while the Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the global scale shows a value of 0.974, both results are considered adequate. It is concluded that the instrument has acceptable validity and reliability properties that allow it to continue with tests to strengthen such properties, as well as being valid and reliable to collect the perception of the quality of work life in workers.
