O presente estudo tem como objetivo validar a versão portuguesa do instrumento de bem-estar no trabalho, Workplace PERMA Profiler, numa amostra de 618 trabalhadores portugueses e angolanos. Participaram, voluntária e anonimamente, 294 portugueses (70.1% mulheres, 29.9% homens), entre os 19 e 65 anos de idade (M=38, DP=11) e 324 angolanos (67.3% mulheres e 32.7% homens), entre 21 e 67 anos (M=37; DP=7). O Workplace PERMA Profiler (WPP) é uma versão adaptada ao contexto de trabalho da escala de bem-estar PERMA Profiler. O objetivo da escala WPP é avaliar o bem-estar no trabalho de maneira multidimensional, que medem as cinco dimensões do florescimento psicológico com base na teoria de Martin Seligman (2011), emoções positivas, envolvimento, relações, significado, realização, que acresce mais duas dimensões de emoções negativas, saúde, um item para solidão e um item para a felicidade. A validade do instrumento foi feita através da sensibilidade dos itens, fiabilidade, validade fatorial confirmatória, validade convergente e discriminante. As subescalas apresentaram boa fiabilidade (α > 0.7), exceto a subescala de realização (amostra portuguesa) e a de envolvimento (amostra angolana). A variância extraída média (<0.5) e a fiabilidade compósita (<0.7) revelaram problemas nestas subescalas respetivamente. A Análise Fatorial Confirmatória demonstrou um ajustamento sofrível do modelo de 7 fatores com a amostra portuguesa (X2df: 2.067; CFI: 0.954; PCFI: 0.754; GFI: 0.900; PGFI: 0.647; RMSEA: 0.060, p= 0.031) e um ajustamento aceitável do modelo de 5 fatores com a amostra angolana (X2df: 2.902; CFI: 0.949; PCFI: 0.714; GFI: 0.917; PGFI: 0.603; RMSEA: 0.77, p= 0.000). A validade discriminante apresentou problemas pois as subescalas não se discriminam entre si, nas duas amostras.Futuras investigações devem explorar com trabalhadores os significados de realização e envolvimento nessas culturas.
This study aims to validate the portuguese version of the workplace well-being instrument, Workplace PERMA Profiler, in a sample of 618 portuguese and angolan workers. The sample was built of 294 Portuguese (70.1% women, 29.9% men), between 19 and 65 years old (M = 38, SD = 11) and 324 Angolans (67.3% women and 32.7% men), between 21 and 67 years (M = 37; SD = 7), who voluntarily and anonymously participated in the study. The Workplace PERMA Profiler (WPP) is a working context-adapted version of the PERMA Profiler Scale. The purpose of the WPP scale is to evaluate multidimensionally well-being at work, by measuring the five dimensions of psychological flourishing based on Martin Seligman's (2011) theory, positive emotions, engagement, relationships, meaning, accomplishment, along with two dimensions of negative emotions, health, an item for loneliness and an item for happiness. The validity of the instrument was assessed by item sensitivity, reliability, confirmatory factor analysis, convergent and discriminant validity. The subscales showed good reliability (α> 0.7), except for the accomplishment scale (portuguese sample) and the engagement scale (angolan sample). The average extracted variance (<0.5) and the composite reliability (<0.7) revealed problems in these subscales, respectively. Confirmatory Factor Analysis demonstrated a acceptable model fit in the 7-factor model with the Portuguese sample (X2df: 2.067; CFI: 0.954; PCFI: 0.754; GFI: 0.900; PGFI: 0.647; RMSEA: 0.060, p = 0.031) and a satisfactory model fit of the 5-factor model with the Angolan sample (X2df: 2.902; CFI: 0.949; PCFI: 0.714; GFI: 0.917; PGFI: 0.603; RMSEA: 0.77, p = 0.000). The discriminant validity presented several problems in the two samples. Future investigations should explore the meanings of achievement and engagement for workers in these cultures.
