PUJOL-COLS, Lucas  and  ARRAIGADA, Mariana. Psychometric properties of the Copsoq-Istas Psychosocial Risk Questionnaire 21 in Argentinian university teachers. Cuad. Adm. [online]. 2017, vol.30, n.55, pp.97-125. ISSN 0120-3592.  https://doi.org/10.11144/javeriana.cao30-55.ppcr.

This article examines the psychometric properties of the short version of the Copsoq-Istas 21 (1.5) and analyzes the prevalence of six work-related psychosocial risk factors in a sample of 175 Argentinian university teachers. The results reveal that the Copsoq-Istas 21 (1.5) shows acceptable reliability, except for the double presence sub-scale. Furthermore, although the results of this study provide support to a six-factor structure of the Copsoq-Istas 21 (1.5), dissatisfactory results in the convergent and discriminant validity tests suggest the need to re-design some of the sub-scales in order to improve the overall construct validity of the instrument. Finally, the findings also show a high prevalence of double presence, psychological demands, and insufficient esteem affecting the teachers who participated in the study.
