ABSTRACT

Abstract The aim of this study was twofold: to analyze the possible relationships between employees' personality (as measured by core self-evaluations or CSE) and their feelings of work-family enrichment (WFE); and to examine whether distributive justice perceptions act as a mediator in such relationships. A cross-sectional survey was conducted to collect data from 386 employees in public and private organizations located in Argentina. Structural equation modelling was used to examine two integrative models that combined CSE, distributive justice, and WFE. Results reveal a good fit of the full mediation model (S-Bx2 = 3.18, GFI= .99, CFI= .99, RMSEA= .03), in which distributive justice perceptions fully mediated the relations between CSE and WFE (y = .13, IC= [-.03; .27]) and between CSE and FEW (y = .09, IC= [-.08; .25]). Findings are discussed in the light of its theoretical and practical implications. The study provides valuable information for organizational authorities and HR managers to focus their efforts on both the development of CSE traits and the creation of fair and equitable work environments.


Resumen El objetivo de este estudio fue doble: analizar las relaciones entre la personalidad de los empleados (operacionalizada como núcleo de autoevaluaciones, NAE) y el enriquecimiento trabajo-familia (ETF); y examinar si las percepciones de justicia distributiva desempeñan un rol mediador en tales relaciones. Se realizó una verificación empírica de corte transversal sobre 386 empleados de organizaciones públicas y privadas localizadas en Argentina. Análisis de ecuaciones estructurales indicaros un adecuado ajuste para un modelo de mediación total (S-Bx2 = 3.18, GFI= .99, CFI = .99, RMSEA= .03), en el que las percepciones de justicia distributiva median las relaciones del NAE con ETF (y = .13, IC= [-.03; .27]) y con EFT (y = .09, IC= [-.08; .25]). Se discuten los resultados a la luz de sus implicaciones prácticas. Este estudio proporciona información valiosa para que directivos organizacionales y gerentes de recursos humanos focalicen sus esfuerzos tanto en el desarrollo de los rasgos del NAE, como en la creación de ambientes de trabajo justos.

ABSTRACT

La justicia organizacional se refiere a las percepciones de los trabajadores sobre lo que es justo e injusto en su trabajo. El objetivo del presente estudio fue presentar evidencias sobre la validez factorial y propiedades psicométricas de la versión argentina de la Escala de Justicia Organizacional de Colquitt. Se condujo una investigación empírica, cuantitativa, instrumental, de corte transversal. Se contó con una muestra por disponibilidad de 406 trabajadores (212 varones y 194 mujeres) de organizaciones argentinas. Los resultados del análisis factorial confirmatorio corroboraron la estructura tetrafactorial de la escala (justicia distributiva, procedimental, interpersonal e informacional). Se obtuvieron adecuados índices de confiabilidad (valores alfa ordinal y de confiabilidad compuesta mayores de .80) así como de validez discriminante y convergente (índices de varianza media extraída superiores a .60). Tales características psicométricas transforman a la escala validada en una herramienta útil para medir las percepciones de justicia al interior de las organizaciones argentinas.


The term organizational justice (OJ) was coined by Greenberg (1987) to refer to employees' perceptions about what is fair and what is unfair in their workplaces. The concept entails a personal assessment of the ethical and moral standards that characterize the organization. In their analysis of the origins of OJ, Cropanzano, Bowen, and Gilliland (2007) distinguish between the prescriptive approach of philosophers and the descriptive approach of social scientists. Philosophers have discussed the issue of justice long before social scientists, trying to determine what kinds of actions are truly fair. This is the prescriptive approach, which can still be found in the domain of business ethics. In contrast, the interest of social scientists has been in what people think is fair. This constitutes the descriptive approach, which tries to understand why people perceive certain events as fair and others as unfair. From this perspective, justice is a subjective and descriptive concept that captures what the individual believes is fair, rather than an objective reality or prescriptive moral code. In this paper, OJ will be addressed from the viewpoint of social scientists.

ABSTRACT

El objetivo del estudio fue adaptar la Escala de Inteligencia Emocional de Schutte para su empleo con adolescentes y jóvenes. Se efectuó la equivalencia conceptual, semántica y operacional de la versión prototípica del instrumento. La versión definitiva fue administrada a una muestra de 1.890 jóvenes y adolescentes (730 mexicanos, 664 argentinos y 497 brasileros). El análisis de la validez factorial mostró una estructura de dos factores que explicaron el 63.9% de la varianza total. La validez convergente quedó demostrada a partir del análisis correlacional efectuado. La confiabilidad del instrumento alcanzó niveles satisfactorios. Se efectúan sugerencias para futuras investigaciones.


The aim of this study was to adapt the Schutte Emotional Intelligence Scale with Latinamerican adolescents and youth adults. The conceptual, semantic, and operational equivalence of the prototype version was analyzed. The final version was administered to a sample of 1.890 students (730 Mexicans, 664 Argentineans, and 497 Brazilians). The analysis of factorial validity showed two orthogonal factors which explained 63.9% of the total variance. Convergent validity was demonstrated through the correlation analysis performed. The reliability of the adapted instrument reached satisfactory levels. In light of the results, we offer some suggestions for future research in the area.

ABSTRACT

Los comportamientos contraproducentes (CCP) son acciones voluntarias y discrecionales que violan las normas organizacionales. Se describen los pasos seguidos para el desarrollo y validación de una escala para medirlos. A partir de la revisión bibliográfica, entrevistas focales y consultas con expertos se elaboró una escala preliminar que fue aplicada a 336 empleados argentinos. Del análisis factorial exploratorio emergió una estructura trifactorial, la que fue corroborada a través de un análisis factorial confirmatorio. La consistencia interna de los factores fue superior a .80. La validez discriminante se examinó mediante correlaciones con medidas de satisfacción, estrés laboral, percepciones de justicia, afectividad y deseabilidad social. Se discute la importancia de contar con instrumentos de medición que reflejen la cultura organizacional de las empresas latinoamericanas.


Counterproductive organizational behaviors (COB) are voluntary and discretionary actions that violate significant organizational norms. This article describes the steps followed for the development and validation of a scale to measure them. From the literature review, focus group, and expert opinion, a preliminary scale with 37 items was designed, which was applied to 336 Argentine employees. An exploratory factor analysis showed a three-factor structure, which was confirmed by a confirmatory factor analysis. The internal consistency of the factors was greater than .80. The discriminant validity was examined through correlations with measures of justice perceptions, affectivity, satisfaction, job stress, and social desirability. We discuss the importance to have measurement instruments that reflect the organizational culture of Latin American companies.
