Resumo: | Objective: The present study aims to evaluate the items, and respective dimensions, of the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES-17) of Schaufeli e Bakker (2009) when applied to social workers exercising their profession in Portugal (UWES-17). Method: The Portuguese version of the UWES was applied to a sample of 1369 Portuguese social workers, 94% of which female and 6% male, with an average age of 39 years (standard deviation = 8.99). The most frequent academic qualification is graduation (63.8%) and in terms of professional activity they had, in average terms, 12.99 years of experience (standard deviation = 8.28). The reliability of the scale was assessed using the Chronbach alpha coefficient and the validity using the exploratory factorial analysis. Quantitative methodological research was used. Results: The results obtained agree with the values presented in previous studies regarding their internal consistency, both of the 17 items that make up the scale and of its three dimensions ("force", "dedication" and "absorption"). The UWES-17 in this study presents a factorial structure of three factors, just like the original study, but the constitution of the items of each dimension is different. The UWES-17 scale presents good psychometric characteristics and good internal consistency. Conclusions: The UWES-17 scale presents good psychometric characteristics and good internal consistency. |

Método: Foi aplicada a versão portuguesa da UWES a uma amostra constituída por 1369 assistentes sociais portugueses, 94% do sexo feminino e 6% do sexo masculino, com uma média de idades de 39 anos (desvio-padrão = 8,99). A habilitação académica mais frequente é a licenciatura (63,8%) e no que respeita à atividade profissional possuíam, em termos médios, 12,99 anos de experiência (desvio-padrão = 8,28). A fidedignidade da escala foi avaliada através do coeficiente de alfa de Chronbach e a validade através da análise fatorial exploratória. Foi utilizada a pesquisa metodológica de natureza quantitativa. Resultados: Os resultados alcançados vão ao encontro dos valores presentes em estudos anteriores quanto à sua consistência interna, tanto dos 17 itens que compõe a escala como das suas três dimensões (“vigor”, “dedicação” e “absorção”). A UWES-17 neste estudo apresenta uma estrutura fatorial de três fatores, tal como o estudo original, mas a constituição dos itens de cada dimensão é diferente. Conclusões: A escala UWES-17 apresenta-se com boas características psicométricas e uma boa consistência interna.Departamento de Investigação & Desenvolvimento do Instituto Superior Miguel Torga2017-09-29info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdftext/htmlimage/pnghttps://doi.org/10.7342/ismt.rpics.2017.3.2.52https://doi.org/10.7342/ismt.rpics.2017.3.2.52Portuguese Journal of Behavioral and Social Research; Vol. 3 No. 2 (2017): Setembro; 10–20Revista Portuguesa de Investigação Comportamental e Social; Vol. 3 N.º 2 (2017): Setembro; 10–202183-4938reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporhttps://rpics.ismt.pt/index.php/ISMT/article/view/52https://rpics.ismt.pt/index.php/ISMT/article/view/52/PDFhttps://rpics.ismt.pt/index.php/ISMT/article/view/52/htmlhttps://rpics.ismt.pt/index.php/ISMT/article/view/52/PNGDireitos de Autor (c) 2017 Nelson Ramalho, Helena Teles, Vanda Ramalho, & Sónia Ribeirohttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessTeles, HelenaRamalho, NelsonRamalho, VandaRibeiro, Sónia2023-05-25T22:00:48Zoai:ojs.rpics.ismt.pt:article/52Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T16:39:44.196489Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
