摘要
The aim of the present study was to analyse the factorial invariance of the Mac Donald and Mac Intyre's Generic Job Satisfaction Scale in Argentina and Brazil. Researchers developed an instrumental cross-sectional study on a non-probabilistic sample of workers (n(Argentina) = 663, n(Brazil) = 672). The results indicate that the scale is invariant at configural (SB chi(2)/(gl) = 2.06, GFI = .96, CFI = .97, RMSEA = .03), metric (Delta GFI = .009, Delta CFI = .008, Delta RMSEA = .006), and scalar levels (Delta GFI = .007, Delta CFI = .009, Delta RMSEA = .004); whereas, partially invariant at a strict level. In turn, the comparison of latent and observed means shows that Brazilian participants are more satisfied with their jobs (M-Brazil = 3.86, SDBrazil = .91, M-Argentina = 3.52, SDArgentina = . 90 , t = 8.54, p < .000; CR = 11.062, p <.000), although it is in small effects (d= .37; r= .18). The results obtained indicate that the scale is adjusted to the model of strict factorial invariance, except for three of its items that only reached strong invariance.
