Abstract

RUEDA, Fabián J. M.  and  DE CAMPOS, Maria Isabel. ORGANIZATIONAL VALUES: EVIDENCE OF VALIDITY FOR A MEASUREMENT INSTRUMENT. Cienc. Psicol. [online]. 2016, vol.10, n.2, pp.209-219. ISSN 1688-4094.

This study aimed to find evidence for the validity of Organizational Values Inventory (IVO) based on its relationships with other variables. In order to find them, the Job Satisfaction Scale (EST) and the Scale for Assessment of Quality of Work Life (Escala-QVT) were used. The study included 213 people, from several Brazilian states, of both sexes and with ages ranging between 17 and 71 years. In terms of education, 95.3% (203) of the sample had incomplete or complete college or undergraduate levels. The length of service in the organization ranged between one and 31 years and reported hierarchical levels ranged from top management of the organization to non-managerial positions. The results showed positive and statistically significant correlations between all IVO factors and all EST and Scale-QVT factors, with magnitudes ranging from weak to moderate for both scales, which can be taken as evidence for the validity of the instruments, especially for the case of IVO which was the focus of this study
