Cuestionario de Bienestar Laboral General: Estructura y Propiedades Psicométricas

the general work well-being questionnaire (qblg) was developed with the aim of providing a measurement tool particularly sensitive to the psychosocial dimension of work well-being of care workers, and to the bipolar nature of the well-being experience. 1252 professionals of health care (medical and nursing) and of higher education employed in hospitals and universities from brazil, chile, colombia and spain, respectively, answered a series of closed items from a questionnaire organized according with a theoretical model of general work well-being. factor analysis found two independent factors in the qblg, the first one including three scales of psychosocial well-being and the second three scales of collateral effects. all scales showed high internal consistency. the qblg faithfully reproduces the structure of the proposed theoretical model, and combines the required psychometric properties for the evaluation of work well-being of health care and of higher education professionals.
