We reviewed the national and international literature on the subject, built the concept, the reference framework formed by eight interrelated dimensions and the measurement instruments. Based on a sample of 11,516 respondents, we carried out the statistical and qualitative analyzes concerning the validation process: Evidence content and construct validity. The dimensions and their respective items indicated good componential load and good reliability indices, which validates the measurement instruments.
