Adaptación y validación de escalas de medición en el trabajo. Parte 1: bienestar social.

The objective of the present study was to adapt and validate the Keyes social well being scale in the work context. This is a quantitative research study with a sample of 332 workers randomly assigned into two subsamples (A and B). An exploratory factorial analysis was performed using generalized least squares (subsample A). A confirmatory factorial analysis was performed with the multivariate weighted least squares estimation method (subsample B). The results showed a social well being scale in the work environment with adequate adjustment indicators: CFI (0.984), TLI (0.98), and RMSEA (0.091). The scale consists of three factors: 1) social belonging, 2) social interaction, and 3) social understanding at work. Their omega values certify internal consistency. It is concluded that the social welfare scale in the work context presents psychometric characteristics suitable for its use, making it a contribution to work and organizational psychology.
