Contenido principal del artículo

Resumen

El objetivo del presente estudio fue desarrollado y validar una escala para medir trabajo flexible. Una versión prototípica de la escala fue elaborada con base en la revisión bibliográfica y entrevistas con empleados. En primer lugar, esta versión fue aplicada a una muestra no probabilística de 87 trabajadores de diferentes organizaciones, para evaluar las características operativas de la escala. Se llevó a cabo una segunda fase de aplicación a efectos de análisis de las propiedades psicométricas del instrumento desarrollado. En esta ocasión se incluye sobre una nueva muestra no probabilística integrada por 383 trabajadores. Sobre los datos recabados se ejecutan análisis factoriales exploratorios y confirmatorios, los cuales indican una estructura unidimensional con adecuada consistencia (α = .89), confiabilidad compuesta (CR = .88), y validez convergente (AVE = .50). El instrumento quedó finalmente conformado por nueve ítems, demostrando ser una medida confiable y parsimoniosa que permite conocer la percepción de los empleados acerca de la disponibilidad de trabajo flexible al interior de sus organizaciones.
