Spanish adaptation of the Passion Toward Work Scale (PTWS)

Abstract

<p class="Sinespaciado1"><span lang="EN-GB">Passion at work has a great influence on the occupational health of workers.<span class="hps"> Vallerand and his collaborators have defined two types of passion, </span><em>Harmonious</em> <span class="hps">and<em> </em></span><em>Obsessive</em><span class="hps">. In the first type, people feel obliged to carry out an activity but freely decide to do it and do so in harmony with other aspects of their lives. And in the second, although the person likes the activity, they feel obliged to take part in it because of internal circumstances that exercise control over them. </span>In this context, the objective was to adapt Vallerand and Houlfort’s Passion towards Work Scale (PTW) into Spanish. The participants were 513 workers, selected through non-probability sampling. We used the FACTOR program (version 7.2) and SPSS 20.0. The results of the CFA (ESEM) for the PTW scale supported the two-factor model (Harmonious Passion and Obsessive Passion), presented adequate reliability and evidence of validity with Burnout, Irritation, Engagement and Self-Efficacy. The PTW Scale and Questionnaire are reliable and valid instruments, suitable for being used in Spanish. </span></p>

Pasión por el Trabajo: Un Estudio Instrumental con Trabajadores Argentinos

“…En lo que respecta a la validez concurrente, el análisis de correlaciones efectuado indica que la pasión armoniosa y la pasión obsesiva correlacionan directamente entre sí, coincidiendo con la evidencia empírica publicada (Orgambídez-Ramos et al, 2014;Serrano-Fernández et al, 2017;van der Knaap & Steensma, 2015;Zito & Colombo, 2017). Del mismo modo, ambos tipos de pasión se asocian en las direcciones esperadas con el resto de los constructos estudiados.…”

“…La validación inicial fue realizada con base en los datos proporcionados por una muestra de 539 estudiantes canadienses. Desde entonces, el instrumento ha sido adaptado y validado en diversos países, tales como España (Orgambídez-Ramos et al, 2014;Serrano-Fernández, Boada-Grau, Gil-Ripoll & Vigil-Colet, 2017), Italia (Zito & Colombo, 2017), Holanda (van der Knaap & Steensma, 2015) y Portugal (Martins, Araújo & Almeida, 2014); obteniéndose evidencias favorables de su validez de estructura interna, así como, de su confiabilidad.
