| Abstract (English): | The main objective of this research was the design, construction and validation of a scale to measure the psychosocial factors and the organic symptomatology in the workplace. The study was non-experimental and crosssectional. It included a sample of 363 participants from three private companies and one from the government sector in Puerto Rico. The scale was submitted to a panel of ten expert judges in order to determine its content validity and, subsequently, it was administered to the sample. The construct validity of the scale was made by an analysis of factors, which determined the suitability of the dimensions and reagents. The development of the scale for measuring the psychosocial factors and their effect on the symptoms proves to be a useful tool as an early intervention strategy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
| Abstract (Spanish): | El objetivo principal de esta investigación fue el diseño, construcción y validación de una escala para medir los factores psicosociales y la sintomatología orgánica en el área laboral. Como marco conceptual se utilizó la Teoría Demandas y Control (Karasek, 1979). El diseño del estudio fue no experimental, transversal. Se contó con una muestra de 363 participantes de tres empresas privadas y una del sector gubernamental en Puerto Rico. La escala fue sometida a un panel de diez jueces expertos para determinar validez de contenido (RVC de > .62); posteriormente, se administró a la muestra. El valor del coeficiente de Alpha de Cronbach de .78 determinó la consistencia interna del instrumento. La validez de constructo fue realizada mediante un análisis de factores, el cual determinó como adecuados las dimensiones y los reactivos. El desarrollo de la escala para medir los factores psicosociales y su efecto en la sintomatología resulta ser una herramienta útil como una estrategia de intervención temprana.

O desenho do estudo foi não experimental e transversal. Teve-se uma amostra de 363 participantes de três empresas privadas e uma do setor governamental no Porto Rico. A escala foi submetida a um painel de dez juízes especialistas para determinar a validade do conteúdo e posteriormente foi administrada a amostra. A validação da construção foi feita a traves de uma analise de fatores, o que determinou como adequadas as dimensões e os reagentes. O desenvolvimento da escala para medir os fatores psicossociais e seu efeito na sintomatologia revela-se como uma ferramenta útil como estratégia de intervenção precoce. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
