ARIAS GALLEGOS, Walter L. et al. Psychometric Analysis of the Organizational Cynicism Scale in workers from Arequipa City, Peru. cuad.adm. [online]. 2023, vol.39, n.76, e2112385.  Epub Sep 11, 2023. ISSN 0120-4645.  https://doi.org/10.25100/cdea.v39i76.12385.

In this research, the psychometric properties of the Organizational Cynicism Scale (Salessi and Omar, 2014a) were analyzed using a sample of 710 workers (58.59% male and 41.40% female) from Arequipa City, in Peru. This was an instrumental investigation focused on the analysis of the scale’s internal structure by confirmatory factor analysis, and the calculation of reliability by Cronbach’s Alpha test and McDonald’s Omega test. The results corroborated the three factors structure with optimal goodness-of fit index and reliability: Cynical Ideas (ω= .886, α= .883), Cynical behaviors (ω= .841, α= .841), and Cynical emotions (ω= .907, α= .906). As a consequence, we recommend the use of this instrument in the local, national, and Latin American organizational field.

Keywords : Organizational cynicism; Validity; Reliability; Psychometrics; Organizational psychology.
