ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: Different studies have highlighted the importance of subjective outcomes in negotiations. The Subjective Value Inventory (SVI) is the only existing instrument for measuring this aspect. The aim of this research was to analyze the psychometric properties and gender factorial invariance of the SVI in a Spanish sample. METHOD: A double back-translation of the original tool was carried out and it was then applied to a diverse sample of 345 university students and professionals of both genders. Analysis of factorial validity, reliability, and factorial invariance of the model across gender were carried out. RESULTS: A model of sixteen items grouped into four factors, equivalent to the original, was confirmed. All the factors of the model, except the Self, demonstrated adequate psychometric indices. The configural invariance across gender is acceptable. CONCLUSIONS: The Spanish version of the SVI matches the original scale. However, this study proposes using the scale without the Self factor. Lastly, the scale shows configural invariance across gender.

The aim of this paper is twofold: first, to examine the relationships between antecedents and consequences of bridge employment activity; second, to analyze the mediator role both of quality and quantity of bridge employment activities in the relationship between antecedents and consequences. First wave panel data from the SHARE (Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe) were obtained from 1190 men and women in Europe, using structured interviews and questionnaires. Structural equation modeling analyses, including the sample without missing values (N=650), showed that both quantity and quality of bridge employment participation are predictors of job satisfaction, life satisfaction, and quality of life in retirement. These results validate and expand the previous research on bridge employment activities and partial retirement.

Se presenta un estudio relativo a los cambios en los contratos psicológicos construidos por los miembros recién llegados en el Ejército español. Dos muestras de soldados profesionales (de reciente incorporación N1= 222 y N2= 143) y veteranos (N= 386) completaron cuestionarios. Primeramente, las respuestas fueron comparadas mostrando que los contratos psicológicos de los recién llegados cambian durante la socialización organizacional y que tales cambios se producen en general las normas de los soldados experimentados. Más aún, los resultados del análisis de ecuaciones estructurales sugieren que la cultura organizacional predice el cumplimiento del contrato psicológico. Las implicaciones de las relaciones entre la cultura organizacional y el contrato psicológico se discuten
A study into changes in the psychological contracts held by newcomers into the Spanish Army is reported. Two samples of professional soldiers (newcomers N1= 222 and N2= 143) and veterans (N= 386) completed questionnaire measures. First, responses were compared showing that newcomers psychological contracts change during organizational socialization and these changes were generally toward the insider norms of experienced soldiers. Moreover, results of structural equation modelling suggested that organizational culture predicts psychological contract fulfillment. The implications of the relationships between organizational culture and psychological contract are discussed
