Validación para Ecuador del inventario APO para medir la articulación entre persona y organización

Abstract

There is a lack of well-grounded instruments in Ecuador that allow distinctive kinds of measurements in between employee and employer using personal and organizational values as a base of analysis. The theoretical-testing of the APOE (Link Between Person and Organization: Ecuador Affair) fathoms this Portuguese instrument to simultaneously meter the adjustment, issue and organizational values recon in Ecuadorian society, turning it into the main objective of the current study. The validation of the construct was done with a survey of 133 employees of several organizations in Ecuador. Factorial analysis stuck out reduction from nineteen to eighteen items, layering six items per factor, explaining 61,68% of variance with a α general of 0.758, α specific for adjustment amongst personal and organizational values = 0.857, for personal and organizational values concerning issues = 0.855; and organizational values recon = 0.855. Same as the original study, results show conceptual demarcation between variable adjustment and issue variable, pointing out the usefulness of independent scales for their corresponding measurement. Validation of APOE Inventory serves up as an effective and trustful mean to be applied in the Ecuadorian environment, although additional studies ought to be done in order to strengthen the instrument.
