Inventario de flow en el trabajo: evidencias de validez de la estructura interna y criterio

Abstract

Work-related Flow Inventory: Internal Structure and Criterion Validity evidence The objective of this study was to adapt and validate the Work-related Flow Inventory from Bakker's study in Argentina. A crosssectional empirical instrument design was used in a non-probabilistic sample of 442 workers (53% women, Mage=33.5 years, SD=19.6). Analyses of exploratory structural equations indicated adequacy of a tri-factorial model with 10 invariant items between different occupations. The values of the mean extracted variance and its square root, the heterotrait-monotrait ratio, the ordinal alpha coefficient and the composite reliability coefficient demonstrated adequate convergent-discriminant validity and reliability. Positive correlations with passion, work satisfaction and engagement indicated appropriate concurrent validity. Results show that the Argentine version of the instrument presents adequate psychometric properties.
