Using a scale in different cultural contexts requires an adaptation process for the sake of fair comparison between obtained scores. The 9-item version of Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES-9) has been adapted in various countries but Indonesia. This study aimed to make a scale adaptation of the UWES-9 in Indonesia. A hundred teachers of inclusive schools in Solo, Semarang, Surabaya, and Malang were involved as participants. Data were collected both online and paper-based. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and Rasch test were used to analyze the data. Result showed that the UWES-9 had high values of: overall person and item interaction (α= .85); person reliability (= .71); and item reliability (= .95). The person measure value (=1.65 logit) and separation value 1.57 indicated two respondent groups based on the degree of work engagement. The item 5 had outfit value MNSQ > 14, meaning that it was unfit. Some items were found biased toward teaching duration in inclusive school. Internal structure analysis using CFA showed that UWES-9 is a unidimensional instrument with established goodness of fit value (RMSEA = .049; CFI, NFI, & GFI > .95). To conclude, UWES-9 has adequate psychometric properties, so it can be used for research or assessment.

Objective: provide new background in relation to the factor structure and reliability of the factors identified from the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale – Student (UWES-S) in students of health careers in Chile.Methods: A quantitative study with relational analytical scope was carried out, through a non-experimental cross-sectional design through a survey. 898 university students selected through non-probabilistic sampling by groups belonging to Medicine, Kinesiology, Pharmacy and Speech and language therapy. The students responded the UWES-S and a sociodemographic questionnaire. The total sample was randomly subdivided into two subsamples. With the first one, an Exploratory Factor Analysis was performed, using the method of extraction of the Main Axis Analysis. With the second one, a Confirmatory Factor Analysis was performed, using the maximum likelihood method and the following indices: Comparative Fit Index (CFI), Tucker-Lewis Index (TLI) and the Root Mean Square Error of Approximation (RMSEA). Also the Cronbach alpha reliability of each item was calculated. For data processing STATA 11 SE statistical package was used.Results: Kaiser-Guttman criterion and the Horn’s Parallel Analysis aimed to the existence of two factors called Involvement with studies and Enthusiasm for the career. CFI, TLI and RMSEA show that this is one of the solutions with best fit.Conclusion: Two factors were identified called Involvement with studies and Enthusiasm for the career. Neither the solution obtained nor the previous solutions showed an adequate adjustment to the data. The confirmatory factor analysis showed that this is one of the solutions with best fit.

This study aims to validate Korean versions of the 9-item Utrecht Work Engagement Scale, testing for its factor pattern validity through Exploratory Factor Analysis and Confirmatory Factor Analysis, reliability, and convergent and discriminant validity. The 9-item Utrecht Work Engagement Scale was translated according to the guidelines of the International Test Commission and tested with two Korean samples. First, the Exploratory Factor Analysis found that both two-factor and three-factor solutions were viable options with the first sample. Second, comparison validations of these two solutions were tested by confirming the dimensionality of their structures through the Confirmatory Factor Analyses with the second sample, with the conclusion that the three-factor model solution was the most parsimonious model. Finally, the three-factor model of the 9-item Utrecht Work Engagement Scale was demonstrated to have good discriminant validity and convergent validity, as well as internal consistency of its subscales.

RESUMEN Se presentan dos estudios en los que se empleó un diseño instrumental en dos muestras de estudiantes universitarios de ambos sexos, de entre 17 y 30 años, que completaron la Escala Grit en su versión original (Duckworth et al., 2007) y abreviada (Duckworth y Quinn, 2009), y la adaptación española para estudiantes de la Utrecht-Work Engagement Scale (UWES-SS) (Schaufeli et al., 2002), adaptada y validada para su aplicación en población argentina (Mesurado et al., 2016). El Estudio 1 se realizó con una muestra de 233 alumnos para analizar la validez factorial de la adaptación argentina de las dos primeras escalas mencionadas, aplicando la matriz de correlaciones tetracóricas con el paquete estadístico Factor (Lorenzo-Seva y Ferrando, 2020) y el análisis de consistencia interna; asimismo, se analizó la convergencia de ambas escalas con la UWES-SS. Con la segunda muestra (n=235), se llevó a cabo el Estudio 2, en el que se realizó un análisis factorial confirmatorio de la Escala Grit-O y Grit-S. Los resultados son comparables con estudios similares efectuados con las escalas originales; y muestran que la Escala Grit, en sus dos versiones, posee sólidas propiedades psicométricas y buena validez de constructo, constituyéndose en instrumentos confiables para utilizarlos en la orientación psicopedagógica. Asimismo, la convergencia encontrada entre el Grit y el Engagement indica la importancia de estimular ambas capacidades de forma simultánea en población universitaria. Estos estudios brindan aportes de interés para el ámbito educativo en general y permiten profundizar el abordaje del Grit en el contexto mencionado.ABSTRACT Two studies are presented in which an instrumental design was used with two samples of university students of both sexes, age range from 17 to 30 years, who completed the Grit Scale in its original version (Duckworth et al., 2007) and abbreviated (Duckworth & Quinn, 2009), and the Spanish adaptation for students of the Ultrecht-Work Engagement Scale (UWES-SS) (Schaufeli et al., 2002), adapted and validated for its application in Argentine population (Mesurado et al., 2016). Study 1 was carried out with a sample of 233 students to analyze the factorial validity of the Argentine adaptation of the two Grit scales, applying the tetrachoric correlation matrix with the Factor statistical package (Lorenzo-Seva & Ferrando, 2020) and the internal consistency analysis. Additionally, the convergence of both scales with the UWES-SS was analyzed. Study 2 was carried out with another sample (N=235) in which a confirmatory factor analysis of the Grit-O and Grit-S Scale was performed. The results are comparable with similar studies carried out with the original scales and show that the Grit Scale, in its two versions, has solid psychometric properties and good construct validity, becoming reliable instruments for psycho-pedagogical guidance. Likewise, the convergence found between Grit and Engagement indicates the importance of stimulating both abilities in the university population. These studies provide interesting contributions to the educational field in general and allow us to go deeper in the approach of Grit in the studied context.

This paper aims to analyse the psychometric properties of Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES) as developed by Schaufeli et al. (2002) in an India sample. It analyses two models of work engagement i.e. one-factor model, where work engagement is considered as a single construct and three-factor model, which considers three aspects of engagement (vigour, dedication and absorption) of both 17-item UWES and shortened version 9-item UWES. Psychometric properties including factor validity and internal consistency were assessed by an empirical study of 100 employees working in information technology companies in India. The results of confirmatory factor analysis reveal that for India, 9-item UWES and single construct work engagement scale is better than the three factor model. The study further revealed that internal consistency of complete scale was found to be consistent than the three sub-scales for both 9-item UWES and original 17-item UWES. The present study provides an insight as to which measure of UWES works better in context to India.

<p>Engagement at work is a positive mental and dispositional state characterized by Vigor, Dedication and Concentration. The aim of this study was to adapt and get evidence of validity for the Brazilian version of the utrecht work engagement scale (UWES). Participated in the study 1167 workers between 18 and 70 years (M = 36.8, SD = 10.3) in the Brazilian regions. Studies to establish content and construct validity with the 17- item and the 9- item scales were performed. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyzes showed that the best solution is unifactorial. Internal consistency was high. Age differences in engagement were found. The results also indicate that the present version of UWES is valid for use in Brazil and reinforce the idea that engagement at work is a universal construct. Although most of the results agree with the findings reported in the literature, some cultural differences appeared and they are discussed in this paper.</p>

Zusammenfassung. Die Forschung zu Beanspruchung im Lehrberuf ist nach wie vor stark auf negative Auswirkungen wie Stress, Erschöpfung und Burnout fokussiert. Um ein vollständiges Bild zu erhalten, müssen auch die positiven Aspekte von Beanspruchung analysiert werden. Dafür bietet sich ein Konstrukt an, das sich in der internationalen arbeits- und organisationspsychologischen Forschung in den vergangenen Jahren durchgesetzt und in verschiedenen Berufsfeldern und nationalen Kontexten bewährt hat: Arbeitsengagement, gemessen mit der Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES). Der vorliegende Beitrag analysiert die deutschsprachige Version der 9-Item Version der UWES an einer Stichprobe von Lehrerinnen und Lehrern ( N = 162) im Vergleich mit Personen aus intellektuell-forschenden Berufen ( N = 195). Konfirmatorische Mehrgruppen-Faktoranalysen zeigten, dass die UWES-9 über beide Berufsgruppen hinweg messinvariant ist. Die latente Mittelwertsanalyse ergab, dass die Lehrerinnen und Lehrer in Bezug auf das Arbeitsengagement besser abschneiden als die Fachkräfte der anderen Gruppe. Dabei hängt das Arbeitsengagement in beiden Gruppen wie erwartet positiv mit affektivem organisationalem Commitment und negativ mit der Kündigungsabsicht zusammen, was die Validität der deutschen Version des Tests belegt. Vor dem Hintergrund dieser Erkenntnisse wird am Schluss des Beitrags das Potenzial des Konstrukts für die Erforschung der positiven Beanspruchung im Lehrberuf diskutiert.
