ABSTRACT
En este estudio, se analizaron las propiedades psicométricas de la versión en español (Bakker et al., 2018) de la escala Job Crafting de Tims et al. (2012) en población latinoamericana. Aplicamos la escala a una muestra de 903 empleados (42.6% mujeres y 57.4% hombres) de Colombia y Ecuador. Se examinaron la fiabilidad y la validez. Los resultados del análisis factorial confirmatorio mostraron un ajuste adecuado tanto en Colombia (CFI = .916, TLI = .900, IFI = .917, RMSEA = .060) como en Ecuador (CFI = .918, TLI = .903, IFI = .919, RMSEA = .064), en la estructura de cuatro factores de la escala original. Se encontró evidencia de validación, relacionada con el criterio de bienestar psicológico, para las dimensiones de recursos estructurales crecientes y demandas desafiantes crecientes. La versión en español de la escala demuestra su utilidad para la investigación en el contexto latinoamericano.(AU)
In this study, the psychometric properties of the Spanish version (Bakker et al., 2018) of the Job Crafting scale of Tims et al. (2012), was an-alyzed in a Latin American population. We applied the scale to a sample of 903 employees (42.6% women & 57.4% men) from Colombia and Ecua-dor. Reliability and validity were examined. The results of the confirmatory factor analysis showed an adequate fit both in Colombia (CFI = .916, TLI = .900, IFI = .917, RMSEA = .060) and in Ecuador (CFI = .918, TLI = .903, IFI = .919, RMSEA = .064), in the four-factor structure of the origi-nal scale. Evidence of validation, related to criterion for psychological well-being for the dimensions of increasing structural resources and increasing challenging demands, was found. The Spanish version of the scale demon-strates its usefulness for research in the Latin American context.(AU)

Society lives the transition between modernity and postmodernity. In this context, the family is considered as a fully dynamic system that changes over time. Therefore, family structures are in constant motion, and family functions also require changes. Sometimes the functions in the family change, but the structures do not, so conflicts within the family may appear. The objective of this research is to show how families evaluate their role in the postmodern context. Hence, the evaluation was carried out in 37 families through the APGAR test, a questionnaire that explores five areas of family function. Statistical analysis and data processing were performed with free software tools and the experiments may be reproduced as the data and code are hosted in open repositories. The results show that the perception of dysfunction at the individual level does not differ from the family perception. The families typically deny the conflict and the implicit changes in the family's functions because they do not know how to handle these changes. Likewise, the study shows that the changes in the family, attributed by several authors to the transition related to the postmodern paradigm, outline a growing trend towards the perception of the dysfunctionality of the family system over time.
ABSTRACT
Las condiciones actuales de trabajo demandan mayor énfasis en el estudio de los riesgos psicosociales laborales. La presente investigación evalúa dichos riesgos a partir de una muestra conformada por 559 docentes y administrativos de una universidad privada ecuatoriana, con el objetivo de indagar sobre las especificidades de los factores de riesgo psicosocial en relación con las variables sociodemográficas y sociolaborales, para proponer un perfil de riesgo psicosocial. El instrumento utilizado fue F-PSICO 3.1 y posteriormente a través de regresiones logísticas se analizó el efecto de dichas variables para identificar posibles factores de riesgo o de protección. Los hallazgos evidencian que la exposición desfavorable a factores de riesgo psicosocial se incrementa en el personal que tiene ciertas características como: ser docente, con jornada de tiempo completo, ser menor de 35 años, contar con menos de 5 años de antigüedad en la institución y ser mujer. A modo de conclusión, al menos el 25% del personal percibe alguno de los factores psicosociales evaluados de una manera desfavorable
Current working conditions demand greater emphasis on the study of occupational psychosocial risks. The present investigation evaluates these risks from a sample of 559 teachers and administrators of an Ecuadorian private university, with the objective of investigating the specificities of psychosocial risk factors in relation to sociodemographic and socio-labor variables, to propose a profile of psychosocial risk. The instrument used was F-PSICO 3.1 and subsequently through logistic regressions the effect of these variables was analyzed to identify possible risk or protection factors. The findings show that unfavorable exposure to psychosocial risk factors is increased in staff that have certain characteristics such as: being a teacher, full-time, being under 35, having less than 5 years of experience in the institution and to be a woman. In conclusion, at least 25% of staff perceive some of the psychosocial factors evaluated in an unfavorable way.
