Description
Summary:The aim  of  this  study  was  to  validate  and  analyze  psychometric  properties  of Koopmans et al. (2013) Individual Work Performance Scale. A pilot study with 31 postgraduate students was performed to assay the operational equivalence of  the  scale.  A  main  study  was  carried  out,  in  order  to  analyze  the psychometric properties of the scale adapted in the pilot study. This time, the non-probabilistic  sample  comprised  434  workers.  Factor  analyses (exploratory and confirmatory) were executed over the data obtained. Both of them  indicated  a  trifactorial  structure  with  adequate  internal  consistency (task  performance:  ?  =  .76,  counterproductive  behaviors:  ?  =  .76,  and contextual performance: ? = .72), composite reliability (CR greater than .70), and  convergent  validity  (AVE  greater  than  .50).  Argentinean  version  of  the instrument  was  conformed  by  13  items  and  proved  to  be  a  reliable  and parsimonious scale to measure perceived job performance.
