SPONTON, Carlos L. et al. Development and validation of a measure of satisfaction with job resources. Suma Psicol. [online]. 2019, vol.26, n.1, pp.64-74.  Epub Oct 25, 2019. ISSN 0121-4381.  https://doi.org/10.14349/sumapsi.2019.v26.n1.8.

Over the past three decades research on job resources has consistently shown their influence on employees' well-being and performance. However, recent studies indicate that such outcomes are more strongly related to satisfaction with job resources than to perceived job resources. Accordingly, and based on HERO model, we developed a new measure to assess satisfaction with job resources. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analytic-results based on two independent samples consisting of 492 and 508 employees supported the four proposed dimensions: satisfaction with task resources, satisfaction with team resources, satisfaction with leader/supervisor resources, and satisfaction with organizational resources. Reliability analyses showed good internal consistency and construct reliability for the dimensions, and relations with burnout and work engagement scales supported for criterion validity. Practical implications of the new measure are discussed, and we also made some suggestions to examine the psychometric properties of the scale in a more substantial degree.

Keywords : Job resources; satisfaction; development and validation; measurement.
