“…The indices of adjustment were adequate and the residuals are acceptable. This solution is corroborated by some international studies and may have been found because engagement, as measured by UWES, is a construct with high correlation between items (Agarwal, 2014;Chutghtai & Buckley, 2013;Federici & Skaalvik, 2011;Hakanenet al, 2008;Mauno et al, 2007;Weigl et al, 2010). In Brazil, the psychometric analysis of the scale confirms a one-factor solution as more parsimonious both for the UWES-17 as for the UWES-9.…”

“…Several researchers accepted this solution as appropriate (Agarwal, 2013;Chutghtai & Buckley, 2012). On the other hand, most international studies indicate that a single factor solution is best, even if the three subscales be considered as subfactors within this general factor (Argawal, 2014;Federici & Skaalvik, 2011;Mauno, Kinnunen, & Ruokolainen, 2007;Weigl et al, 2010). Hallberg and Schaufeli (2006) show data that support both solutions, uni-or tri-factorial and defend the idea that the one-factor solution should be used for the most comprehensive investigations of engagement at work and the three-factor solution for a detailed analysis of these constructs compared to other.…”

Engagement at work is a positive mental and dispositional state characterized by Vigor, Dedication and Concentration. The aim of this study was to adapt and get evidence of validity for the Brazilian version of the utrecht work engagement scale (UWES). Participated in the study 1167 workers between 18 and 70 years (M = 36.8, SD = 10.3) in the Brazilian regions. Studies to establish content and construct validity with the 17-item and the 9-item scales were performed. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyzes showed that the best solution is unifactorial. Internal consistency was high. Age differences in engagement were found. The results also indicate that the present version of UWES is valid for use in Brazil and reinforce the idea that engagement at work is a universal construct. Although most of the results agree with the findings reported in the literature, some cultural differences appeared and they are discussed in this paper.

Participaram da pesquisa 1167 trabalhadores, entre 18 e 70 anos (M = 36,8, DP = 10,3) nas 5 regiões do Brasil. Foram realizados estudos para estabelecer validade de conteúdo e validade de construto com os 17 itens da escala e os 9 itens da versão reduzida. Análises fatoriais exploratória e confirmatória demonstraram que a melhor solução seria unifatorial. A consistência interna foi elevada. Foram encontradas diferenças de engajamento em relação à idade. Os resultados indicam que a versão brasileira da UWES é válida e reforçam a ideia de que o engajamento no trabalho é um construto universal. Porém, algumas diferenças culturais foram detectadas e são discutidas no presente trabalho. Palavras-chave: Engajamento no trabalho, Psicologia Positiva, validade de teste, avaliação psicológica.

“…In the field of psychology, work engagement is considered as the positive opposite of burnout and stress (Mauno et al 2007;Bakker et al 2008). Work engagement is defined as a positive, fulfilling work-related state of mind, which is manifested in three dimensions: absorption, vigor and dedication (Schaufeli, Salanova, Gonzalez-Romá & Bakker 2002).…”

However, time after time, work engagement studies have been based on the idea of linear relationships between independent and dependent variables and presented the relationships as regression models (e.g.…”

Revealing Hidden Curvilinear Relations Between Work Engagement and Its Predictors: Demonstrating the Added Value of Generalized Additive Model (GAM)

Previous studies measuring different aspects of the quality of life have, as a rule, presumed linear relationships between a dependent variable and its predictors. This article utilizes non-parametric statistical methodology to explore curvilinear relations between work engagement and its main predictors: job demands, job control and social support. Interactions between the three job characteristics were also found. Interaction between job demands and social support was curvilinear in shape. Finally, GAM proved to be a more practical and efficient tool of analysis than GLM in situations where there are reasons to assume curvilinear relationships, complex interactions effects between predictors.
