Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-3723-0673 A factor confirmation and convergent validity of the " areas of worklife scale" (AWS) to Spanish translation 2013 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted Background: Perceived incongruity between the individual and the job on work-life areas such as workload, control, reward, fairness, community and values have implications for the dimensions of burnout syndrome. The “Areas of Work-life Scale” (AWS) is a practical instrument to measure employees´ perceptions of their work environments. AIMS: Validate a Spanish translation of the AWS, and it relationship with Masclach Burnout Inventory dimensions. Methods: The study was conducted in three medium-sized hospitals and seven rural and urban Primary Care centres (N = 871) in Spain. The “Maslach Burnout Inventory General Survey” (MBI-GS) and AWS were applied. We developed a complete psychometric analysis of its reliability, and validity. Results: Data on the reliability supported a good internal consistency (Cronbach a between .71, and .85). Construct validity was confirmed by a six factor model of the AWS as a good measure of work environments (¿2 (352) = 806.21, p < 0.001; ¿2/df = 2.29; CFI = 0.935, RMSEA = 0.039); concurrent validity was analysed for its relationship with other measures (opposing dimensions to burnout, and MBI), and each correlation between dimensions and subdimensions were statistically significant; as well, predictive validity, by a series of Multiple Regression Analysis examined the resulting patterns of the Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) confirms the relationship between the work-life areas and burnout dimensions. Conclusions: Leiter and Maslach’s AWS has been an important instrument in exploring several work-life factors that contribute to burnout. This scale can now be used to assess the quality of work-life in order to design and assess the need for intervention programs in Spanish-speaking countries. info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/deed.es 2.099 2013 HEALTH POLICY & SERVICES 19 / 70 = 0.271 2013 Q2 T1 HEALTH CARE SCIENCES & SERVICES 32 / 86 = 0.372 2013 Q2 T2 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Leiter, M.
