Resumo: The aim of this study was to adapt and translate into Portuguese the Conditions for Work Effectiveness Questionnaire (CWEQ-II) (Laschinger, Finegan, Shamian, & Wilk, 2004). A process of translation and reverse-translation was applied to the questionnaire's items, whose psychometric properties were examined using a sample of 282 Portuguese university employees, teachers and services staff. The data were subjected to confirmatory factor analysis, item analysis and reliability analysis. Criterion-related validity was analyzed using a multiple regression model on global empowerment and t-test. The results confirmed the original, four-factor structure obtained by Laschinger and colleagues (2004), supporting Kanter's structural empowerment theory. The psychometric properties of the Portuguese version of the CWEQ-II were adequate, supporting the use of this questionnaire in the workplace. Future research should investigate its construct validity and test the nomological network of the operationalized construct within the field of psychological well-being and in the context of the workplace.

Foi aplicado um processo de tradução-retradução dos itens do questionário, cujas características psicométricas foram analisadas através de uma amostra de 282 funcionários, docentes e não docentes, de uma universidade portuguesa. Os dados foram submetidos a uma análise fatorial confirmatória, análise de itens e análise de confiabilidade. A validade critério foi analisada com recurso a um modelo de regressão múltipla no empowerment global e a t-test. Os resultados confirmaram a estrutura original de quatro fatores, obtida por Laschinger e colaboradores (2004), a qual é suportada pela teoria de empowerment estrutural do Kanter. As propriedades psicométricas da versão portuguesa do CWEQ-II foram adequadas, permitindo a sua utilização no local de trabalho. Pesquisas futuras devem investigar a validade de constructo e testar a rede nomológica da construção, operacionalizada dentro do campo do bem-estar e no contexto do local de trabalho.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.17575/rpsicol.v29i1.526Associação Portuguesa de Psicologia2015-06-02info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.17575/rpsicol.v29i1.526https://doi.org/10.17575/rpsicol.v29i1.526PSICOLOGIA; Vol. 29 No. 1 (2015); 1-10PSICOLOGIA; Vol. 29 N.º 1 (2015); 1-102183-24710874-2049reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporhttps://revista.appsicologia.org/index.php/rpsicologia/article/view/526https://revista.appsicologia.org/index.php/rpsicologia/article/view/526/pdfOrgambídez-Ramos, AlejandroGonçalves, GabrielaSantos, JoanaBorrego-Alés, YolandaMendoza-Sierra, Marí­a Isabelinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2023-11-09T12:50:28Zoai:oai.appsicologia.org:article/526Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T22:10:21.062092Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
