Psychometric properties of the ultra-short measure Utrecht Work Engagement Scale for Students (UWES-3S): Validity and Reliability in the Spanish online university context

To addresses the lack of brief, validated tools to assess student engagement in online universities, the present study examined the psychometric properties of the UWES-3S in a sample of 394 online students (72.8% women). Results demonstrated a one-factor structure with good internal consistency (α =...

Results demonstrated a one-factor structure with good internal consistency (α = .81), and test-retest (.80). Rasch analyses indicated an appropriate scale functioning, item difficulty distribution, and minimal gender-related bias. Criterion validity was shown by correlations with academic satisfaction, emotions, and student burnout (p < .001).

Los resultados demostraron una estructura de un solo factor con buena consistencia interna (α = 0,81) y test-retest (0,80). Los análisis de Rasch indicaron un funcionamiento adecuado de la escala, una distribución adecuada de la dificultad de los ítems y un sesgo mínimo relacionado con el género. La validez de criterio se demostró mediante correlaciones con la satisfacción académica, las emociones y el agotamiento de los estudiantes (p < 0,001). Por lo tanto, el UWES-3S es una medida breve, fiable y válida del engagement académico en línea con relevancia teórica y práctica.Universidad de Navarra2026info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionhttps://doi.org/10.15581/004.51.006https://hdl.handle.net/10459.1/470096reponame:Repositori Obert UdL instname:Fundació Sant Joan de DéuInglésReproducció del document publicat a https://doi.org/10.15581/004.51.006Estudios sobre Educación, 2026, In Presscc-by-nc-nd (c) Universidad de Navarra, 2026Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internationalinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccesshttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/oai:dnet:.___________::3d833ca4e1071e4dc8cda95f7d795c9d2026-06-24T12:42:17Z
