Abstract
ROBLES-ACOSTA, Carlos; MARCELINO-ARANDA, Mariana and ORTEGA-REYES, Antonio O.. Reliability and validity of an organizational identity scale in health services. Rev. salud pública [online]. 2022, vol.24, n.5, 4. Epub Sep 01, 2022. ISSN 0124-0064. https://doi.org/10.15446/rsap.v24n5.89878.
Objective
To validate the Organizational Identity Scale (IDN) for Mexican health service institutions through confirmatory analysis.
Methodology
We applied a fifteen-item identity scale to a sample of 214 workers from six health service clinics in Hidalgo, Mexico.
Results
The reliability analysis indicated that the IDN has adequate internal consistency. The exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses allowed us to identify a struc-ture of three factors (pride, belonging, and meaning). The pride factor shows higher estimated loads.
Conclusion
The final version of the instrument presents adequate reliability and validity for the measurement of organizational identity.
