GARCIA-LIRIOS, Cruz. Construct Validity of a Scale to Measure the Job Satisfaction of Professors at Public Universities in Central Mexico during COVID-19. Trilogía. Cienc. Tecnol. Soc. [online]. 2021, vol.13, n.25, e301.  Epub 30-Jul-2021. ISSN 2145-7778.  https://doi.org/10.22430/21457778.1826.

Until May 2021, six and a half million deaths had been directly and indirectly associated with COVID-19. This pandemic has impacted the traditional classroom by transferring it to online environments. The objective of this study was to establish the construct validity of an instrument that measures professors’ job satisfaction. A cross-sectional psychometric study was carried out with a selection of 100 professors from public universities in central Mexico. Three main factors were found to explain 56% of the total variance: Information need, perceived usefulness, and technology adoption. Although the research design limited the results to the study setting, suggesting the extension of the work towards validity and convergent of the construct.
