Resumen

El objetivo de este estudio consistió en analizar las propiedades psicométricas y la validez del Cuestionario de Expectativas Laborales (CEL) en trabajadores mexicanos. Con el objetivo de realizar una validación cruzada se emplearon dos muestras en el estudio. La primera está compuesta por 380 profesionales que realizaban principalmente tareas administrativas en el sector salud del estado de Puebla-México. La segunda fueron 400 profesionales de la salud del Hospital de la Mujer Puebla-México. El análisis factorial exploratorio mostró una solución de tres factores que explican el 51,8% de la varianza total. Los resultados del análisis factorial confirmatorio indican que el modelo de tres factores, con una estructura de 12 ítems, se ajusta satisfactoriamente a los datos (CFI=0,96, GFI=095, NNFI= 0,95, RMSEA=0,04). El nivel de fiabilidad del cuestionario global y de las diferentes sub escalas muestra una alta consistencia interna. Se encontraron correlaciones significativas entre el CEL y diversas variables como: percepción de apoyo del supervisor, autonomía, vigor, dedicación y absorción, lo que apoya su validez convergente. La evaluación de las propiedades psicométricas confirma al CEL como un instrumento válido y específico de las expectativas laborales y se sugiere para poder ser utilizado en futuras investigaciones.
