Happiness at work: measurement scale validation
Workers’ happiness is a determining factor for both their short- and long-term efficiency. While several scholars have attempted to develop happiness measurement frameworks, this study analyzes the validity of a scale proposed by Del Junco, Espasandín, Dutschke, and Palacios (2013) in which factors...

| Sumario: | Workers’ happiness is a determining factor for both their short- and long-term efficiency. While several scholars have attempted to develop happiness measurement frameworks, this study analyzes the validity of a scale proposed by Del Junco, Espasandín, Dutschke, and Palacios (2013) in which factors determining worker happiness are elucidated and examined. The study offers a guide for validating scales using a structural and confirmatory approach on the basis of data derived from 262 companies in the Spanish province of Seville. The scale examines two dimensions—factors related to the job and to the worker—that confirm the need to combine both individual and environmental perspectives when analyzing worker happiness. |
