| Resumo: | In the psychology of organizations and work, the work engagement construct is been understood as an active psychological state that relates emotions as determinants of worker satisfaction and pleasure in organizational dynamics, leading to the involvement and dedication of the worker. In Brazil, few studies have been worrying about the verification of quality and maintenance of a measure of work engagement in temporal terms. The present study evaluates the consistency and invariance of the factorial structure of the work engagement scale. 569 workers distributed in two distinct samples, aged over 18 years, 62% female, 63% from public companies and economic income above 2,000.00 reais, answered through a link sent to the personal e-mail or their social network the scale of work engagement and sociodemographic data. It was observed that, in the exploratory and confirmatory analysis, the psychometric indicators guaranteed the consistency and invariance of the bi-factorial structure of the measure of engagement for the organizational context. This scale not only corroborates the assessment capacity of the construct, but also the theoretical perspective approached with workers, contributing to the self-evaluation of the professional role and the organizational function of the worker in the management of people. |
