“…It is fairly well established that the meaning of work, in empirical terms (not in terms of the construct, as previously discussed), is influenced by culture and by the specific work activities. In Brazil, this fact has already been pointed out by other authors who have developed models of the meaning of work adapted to the Brazilian context, but still based on MOW (e.g., Bastos, et al, 1995;Bendassolli et al, 2014;Borges, 1999;Soares, 1992).In the present study, the option of a five-factor model would be based on parsimony criteria and also on the proximity of the five-factor model to the original model based on Canadian workers in occupational categories different than the ones studied here (Morin, 1997(Morin, , 2003(Morin, , 2006. In addition, the results point to some discriminant convergence issues between Factors 4 and 6 in the respecified model, which, at first, counted against the division of the original Factor 1 (although the construct as a whole would be consistent).…”

“…The strategies we used to access the potential participants were based on the same procedures used by Brazilian researchers who are also interested in this public (e.g., Bendassolli & Borges-Andrade, 2011. We compiled a potential participant contact base, with information gathered from trade union, artistic group, and working class agency websites, online portfolios, discussion forums, and curriculum data pages.…”

“…Se concluye que el constructo de trabajo con sentido, aunque pueda variar en contenido, resiste a posibles diferencias de subculturas en el contexto brasileño. Palabras-clave: trabajo; significado; actitud del empleado.The seminal research conducted by the Meaning of Work (MOW) Research Team (1987) is commonly cited as an important milestone in the systematization of studies about the meaning of work (e.g., Bendassolli, Alves, & Torres, 2014;Borges, 1998; Mourão & BorgesAndrade, 2001;Tolfo & Piccinini, 2007). Indeed, the MOW research team introduced important conceptual elements to define and operationalize the meaning of work construct in terms of its psychological signification: "the significance, beliefs, definitions and the value which individuals and groups attach to working as a major stream of human activity" (p. 13).…”

“…Nevertheless, they have not yet been translated and adapted to the Brazilian context. On the other hand, the model suggested by Morin (1997Morin ( , 2006Morin ( , 2007, Morin and Cherré (1999) and Morin and Dassa (2006), also for the meaningful work construct, is widely used in work psychology research in Brazil (e.g., Bendassolli & Borges-Andrade, 2011Morin, Tonelli, & Pliopas, 2007;Tolfo & Piccinini, 2007). Morin divides the meaning of work into three dimensions.…”

Meaningful Work Scale in creative industries: a confirmatory factor analysis

et al. 2015

This study conducts a confirmatory factor analysis of a meaningful Canadian work model. The sample comprised 446 professionals working in creative industries based in Midwestern and Northeastern Brazil who completed the 25-item Meaningful Work Scale (MWS). This study tested both the original Canadian five-factor model and a six-factor model previously adapted into Portuguese, based on professionals from São Paulo's creative industries. The results indicate that globally, both models, when re-specified, seem to fit the data. However, an inspection of the local fit indices suggests problems with both models, specifically in two factors: development and learning, and expressiveness and identification with work. We discuss the extent to which these findings may relate to cultural and occupational influences. The paper concludes that the meaningful work model, although it can vary in content, is vulnerable to possible subculture differences in the Brazilian context. Keywords: work; meaning; employee attitudes. Escala do Trabalho com Sentido nas indústrias criativas: análise fatorial confirmatóriaResumo O objetivo deste artigo é realizar uma análise fatorial confirmatória de um modelo canadense de trabalho com sentido. Participaram desta pesquisa 446 profissionais das indústrias criativas das regiões centro-oeste e nordeste do Brasil. Esses participantes responderam à Escala do Trabalho com Sentido (ETS), composta por 25 itens. Foram testados tanto o modelo original canadense de cinco fatores como o de seis fatores previamente validado para o contexto brasileiro. Os resultados indicam que, globalmente, os dois modelos reespecificados apresentam evidências de adequação. Porém, a inspeção do ajuste local revela problemas em ambos, particularmente em relação a dois fatores: desenvolvimento e aprendizagem, e expressividade e identificação no trabalho. Discute-se em que medida esses achados podem estar associados a influências culturais e ocupacionais. Conclui-se que o constructo do trabalho com sentido, embora possa variar em conteúdo, resiste a possíveis diferenças de subculturas no contexto brasileiro. Palavras-chave: trabalho; significado; atitudes do empregado.

Meaningful work, work and life satisfaction: Spanish adaptation of Work and Meaning Inventory Scale

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Meaningful work is the subjective experience that work has meaning and is understood as an avenue for personal development, from a eudaimonic point of view. The aim of this study is to adapt the WAMI scale of meaningful work to Spanish, as well as to explore its relationship with job and life satisfaction. Two independent studies were developed. A first study analyzed the consistency of the original factorial model using a sample of Spanish varied workers (N = 350) through a confirmatory factor analysis. Results show an adequate replication of the original model and the validity of the Spanish version. A second study addressed the predictive capacity of the scale in relation to two satisfaction measures in a sample of Spanish health workers (N=312), through a mediation analysis. The relationship between meaningful work and job satisfaction is mediated by life satisfaction. The idea of meaningful work as a eudaimonic construct discards it as a variable resulting from or consequence of work, as it is an inherent part of occupational activity itself.
