Abstract
MENDOZA SIERRA, María Isabel et al. Translate into Spanish of the Conditions for Work Effectiveness Questionnaire (CWEQ II). Univ. Psychol. [online]. 2014, vol.13, n.3, pp.923-934. ISSN 1657-9267. https://doi.org/10.11144/Javeriana.UPSY13-3.aecc.
The objective of this study is to adapt and translate into Spanish the Conditions for Work Effectiveness Questionnaire -CWEQ II- (Laschinger, Finegan, Shamian & Wilk, 2001). A process of translation and reverse-translation was applied to the scale's items, whose psychometric properties were then examined using a sample of 346 employees from a Spanish public university. Reliability, factor structure (confirmatory factor analysis) of the scale and relationships between structural, general and psychological empowerment are investigated. Results showed a multidimensional scale of four first-order factors (access to opportunities, information, support and resources) as the original one, and positive relations between structural, general and psychological empowerment in the workplace. Theoretical and practical implications of the findings are discussed and suggestions to further research are made.
