Propiedades psicométricas del Cuestionario de Experiencias de Recuperación en trabajadores argentinos.

Abstract

Título: Propiedades psicométricas del Cuestionario de Experiencias de Recuperación en trabajadores argentinos. Resumen: El objetivo de este estudio consistió en examinar las propiedades psicométricas del Cuestionario de Experiencias de Recuperación para su uso en Argentina. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 505 trabajadores provenientes del sector público, privado y organizaciones no gubernamentales. Los resultados del análisis factorial confirmatorio evidenciaron que un modelo de cuatro factores ─distanciamiento psicológico del trabajo, relajación, búsqueda de retos y control sobre el tiempo libre─ presentó un buen ajuste a los datos. Por lo tanto, el cuestionario mantiene la misma estructura que la escala original. Los análisis de confiabilidad mostraron que la escala posee una adecuada consistencia interna (α = .75 -.92) y fiabilidad de constructo (H = .88 -.93). Se examinó la validez test-criterio con medidas de burnout, work engagement y afecto, obteniéndose relaciones teóricamente esperadas. En conclusión, la escala posee adecuadas propiedades psicométricas para ser utilizada en el contexto argentino, permitiendo disponer de un instrumento confiable que permite profundizar el conocimiento sobre la recuperación y brindando una herramienta valiosa para la práctica profesional. Abstract:The aim of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of the Recovery Experience Questionnaire in Argentina. Five-hundred and five workers from public, private and non-governmental sectors participated in the study. Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the four-factor model has an acceptable fit to the data. Thus, as the original scale, the Argentinean validation maintains the four recovery experiencespsychological detachment from work, relaxation, mastery experiences and control over leisure time. Reliability analyses showed good internal consistency (Cronbach's α ranging from .75 to .92) and construct reliability (coefficient H ranging from .88 to .93) for all sub-scales. Expected correlations with measures of work engagement, burnout and negative affect supported for criterion validity. Thus, the Recovery Experience Questionnaire shows adequate psychometric properties for its use in Argentina, thereby providing a reliable instrument that allows deepening knowledge about recovery, and a valuable assessment tool for practitioners.

Psychometric Properties of the Recovery Experiences Questionnaire in Peruvian Teachers of Regular Basic Education

“…Although these results converge with the proposal by Sanz-Vergel et al ( 2010), studies carried out in other contexts have confirmed the structure of 16 elements; for example, the Argentine version for public and private sector workers (Trógolo et al, 2020), the Nepali format developed with nurses from university hospitals (Panthee et al, 2020), the version for Spanish university students (Merino-Tejedor et al, 2017) and the version for Japanese employees, although in the latter, a structure adjusted to 3 factors was initially identified, where psychological detachment and relaxation were condensed into a single factor (Shimazu et al, 2012).…”

“…It should be noted that in the initial work by Sonnentag and Fritz (2007) work stress and control over work were considered as contrast variables, identifying the inverse relationship between time pressure and recovery experience; as well as between role ambiguity and situational limitations with psychological detachment and control over free time, and between overtime compliance with psychological detachment and relaxation. In other works, the recovery construct was inversely associated with negative affectivity and exhaustion and was positively associated with vigor, self-regulation, commitment, coping strategies, and certain personality dimensions (Merino-Tejedor et al, 2017;Trógolo et al, 2020).…”

“…From what has been said up to this point, the evaluation of recovery experiences in regular basic education teachers is more than necessary, however, a review of instruments available in the Peruvian and international scientific literature reveals that valid measures are not available, reliable, and fast to implement; despite the fact that several studies have been carried out on the subject in Latin America (Mardones, 2017;Trógolo et al, 2020).…”

“…Taking into account this gap in the literature, the authors of this research consider it convenient to take into account the work of Sanz-Vergel et al (2010), who translated the English version of The Recovery Experience Questionnaire by Sonnentag and Fritz (2007) into Spanish, corroborating the factorial structure of four recovery experiences: psychological distancing from work, relaxation, seeking challenges, and control over free time; a measure that has also been used for research purposes in countries of the region, such as Argentina (Trógolo et al, 2019), Brazil (Eduardo et al, 2016), Chile (Mardones, 2017), andSpain (Merino-Tejedor et al, 2017).…”

Assessing Organizational Climate: Psychometric properties of the ECALS Scale

“…37, nº 1 (january) that they see are rewarded (Chatman & O'Reilly, 2016;Ehrhart et al, 2014;Loh et al, 2019;Schneider et al, 2013). OC is theorised as a group construct which represents the collective perceptions of the work environment, assessed individually and based on self-reporting by which the employee assesses his/her own perceptions of these aspects (Menéndez et al, 2017;Trógolo et al, 2019). According to the ALS model, the OC is influenced by the culture of the or-ganization and the support given by its leader, which in turn moderates individual perceptions and exercises reciprocal influence on intersubjective processes.…”
