“…Satisfaction with life : It was evaluated through the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) in its version for the Peruvian population. 30 This instrument evaluates the degree of overall life satisfaction and is composed of 5 Likert-type items: strongly disagree = 1; slightly disagree = 2; neither agree nor disagree = 3; slightly disagree = 4; strongly agree = 5. The internal consistency of the instrument was through a coefficient ω = 0.90 and H = 0.92.…”

Background: It is essential to identify the factors that influence the work performance of health professionals working in health care facilities, especially in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, since these factors have an impact on the quality of medical care provided to the population. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the mediating role of work engagement in the relationship between job burnout, professional self-efficacy, life satisfaction, and job performance in Peruvian health care workers. Methods: Cross-sectional explanatory study, with the voluntary participation of 508 health professionals (physicians and nurses) of both sexes (70.7% women, 29.3% men), and from different health facilities in the city of Lima. All participants were administered the Single Burnout Item questionnaire, the Professional Self-Efficacy Scale (AU-10), the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWL), the Individual Work Performance Questionnaire (IWPQ), and the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES-9). Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was used for data analysis. Results: In the SEM analysis, it was found that for the mediation model the incremental goodness-of-fit indices were significant (χ2 = 2292.313, gl = 659, P < .001, χ2/gl = 2.788). Career self-efficacy (β = .557, P < .001) and life satisfaction (β = .289, P < .001) were positive predictors of work engagement. While burnout was a negative predictor (β = .878, P < .001). The consistent mediation of work engagement of professional self-efficacy, life satisfaction, and burnout had a positive predictor effect on job performance (β = .878, P < .001). Conclusion: Research provides evidence that professional self-efficacy, life satisfaction, and burnout could influence job performance through work engagement.

“…Several studies in Ibero-American populations have used the SWLS with five instead of the seven options from the original scale, e.g., in Spain ( 32 , 33 , 35 , 37 ), in Chile ( 38 ), in Peru ( 39 ), in Costa Rica ( 40 ) and in Puerto Rico ( 41 ). In Mexico it was conducted a validation study of the scale with three-response options (disagree, intermediate, and agree) in a national sample of 13,220 adults above the age of 50 years, finding adequate internal consistency, criterion validity, and confirmation of the one-factor structure ( 42 ).…”

Introduction: The Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), developed by Diener, Emmons, Larsen, and Griffin in 1985, comprises five items with seven response options in terms of agreement–disagreement. Recently, there has been a suggestion to reduce the response options of the SWLS to optimize its applicability in different cultural contexts.Objective: The study aims to assess the psychometric properties of the SWLS with five response options in the Colombian population. Specifically, we studied the dimensionality, invariance by gender and age (among a group of adolescents and emerging adults under 25 years and a group of adults of intermediate age and established adulthood under 59 years), convergent validity (with optimism), and divergent (with pessimism) and concurrent validity with other measures of well-being (flourishing, positive, and negative affects).Methodology: This project was a cross-sectional study using a non-probabilistic sample of the general population. Participants were included if they identified themselves as Colombian and were at least 18 years of age. The final sample comprised 1,255 participants. The average age was 25.62 years (SD = 8.60) ranging from 18 to 67 years of age, and 35.8% of the participants were men. In addition to SWLS, we used the Flourishing Scale (FS), Life Orientation Test-Revised (LOT-R), and Scale of Positive and Negative Experience (SPANE).Results: Cronbach's alpha coefficient (0.842), composite reliability (0.851), and average variance extracted (0.537) showed very good values. CFA was conducted to test the one-dimensional structure of FS, showing excellent goodness of fit [χ(5)2 = 15.774, p < 0.001, CFI = 0.992, TLI = 0.985, RMSEA = 0.042, 90% RMSEA CI (0.020, 0.066), and SRMR = 0.016]. The correlations calculated among life satisfaction (SWLS) with flourishing (FS), positive and negative affects (SPANE), optimism, and pessimism (LOT-R) were statistically significant and as expected. Configural, metric, and scalar invariance across gender and age were confirmed. Percentiles were provided for the total score and for age.Conclusions: The SWLS with five response options has adequate psychometric properties in the Colombian population, and the use of this version (with 5 response options) is recommended due to its greater applicability.

“…To date, the SWLS with five response options has already been used in the Spanish-speaking population, instead of the seven of the original scale [ 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 ], consistently showing good psychometric properties. The results of this study indicate that the reduced version of this scale made up of only three items, and with only five response options, has shown good psychometric properties.…”

“…In a cross-cultural measurement invariance study of the SWLS using Italian and African samples, it was found that the 7-point response scale was not sensitive to detecting low levels of life satisfaction, and they recommended using fewer response options, especially for the South African population [ 25 ]. Several studies in Spanish-speaking populations have used the 5-item SWLS with five response options instead of the seven in the original scale, both in Spain and in other Latin American countries [ 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 ], always showing good psychometric properties. Furthermore, we recently found excellent psychometric properties in the five-choice version of the SWLS in a large sample of Colombians [ 31 ].…”

(1) Background: The need to offer brief scales with items that can be answered with few response options is increasingly important in order to be able to access a broad range of the population. The three-item version of Diener’s Satisfaction with Life Scale has recently been proposed. The objective of this study is to study the psychometric properties of the three-item version of this Scale with five response options, as well as the measurement invariance by gender, in a Colombian sample; (2) Methods: A confirmatory factor model of the three items of the scale together with the Flourishing Scale has been tested, and the measurement invariance by gender of the model has been studied. The results offer a very satisfactory fit of the model, showing good evidence of construct and criterion validity, good indicators of reliability and measurement invariance by gender; (4) Conclusions: The three-item version of the Life Satisfaction Scale, previously adapted to the Colombian population with five response options, is presented as a valid and reliable measurement tool. In future studies, it would be convenient to study the test–retest reliability, as well as its psychometric properties in different samples and at a cross-cultural level.
