| description | This research examines the psychometric properties of the Office Gossip Scale Spanish (adapted version) in a sample of 150 Puerto Rican working adults. It also evaluates its internal consistency, Cronbach’s alpha, composite reliability, McDonald’s omega coefficient, construct validity, and factor structure. The 9-item Office Gossip Scale Spanish (adapted version) has an alpha coefficient of .91, a composite reliability of .91, and an omega coefficient of .91. In addition, a confirmatory factor analysis with structural equation modeling was performed and the factor structure of the 9-item Office Gossip Scale Spanish (adapted version) was analyzed. The one-factor model showed good indicators of construct validity. The results suggest that the 9-item Office Gossip Scale Spanish (adapted version) is a reliable and valid instrument for researchers to study the phenomenon of gossip in the workplace and organizations in Puerto Rico. |

Este estudio examina las propiedades psicométricas de la Escala de Chisme de Oficina de 9 ítems en español (en su versión adaptada) para una muestra de 150 trabajadores adultos puertorriqueños. Además, se evaluó su consistencia interna, alfa de Cronbach, la fiabilidad compuesta, el coeficiente omega de McDonald’s, la validez de constructo y la estructura factorial. La versión de la Escala de Chismes de Oficina de 9 ítems en español (en su versión adaptada) posee un coeficiente alfa de .91, una confiabilidad compuesta de .91 y un coeficiente omega de .91. Se realizó un análisis factorial confirmatorio con ecuaciones estructurales y se examinó la estructura factorial de la Escala de Chisme de Oficina de 9 ítems en su versión en español. El modelo mostró un solo factor y buenos indicadores de validez de constructo. Los resultados muestran que la Escala de Chisme de Oficina de 9 ítems en español (en su versión adaptada) es un instrumento confiable y válido para que los investigadores estudien el fenómeno del chisme en el lugar de trabajo y las organizaciones en Puerto Rico.
