ABSTRACT

The current study contributes to our understanding of work engage-ment as a positive construct, and to its measurement by examining the psychometric properties of Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES) in a version of 17 items in Spanish language. The study were carried out in a heterogeneous sample of 400 Cubans workers of different occupations –teachers, investigators and others professions of service and production. The Cronbach's Alpha was more than 0,75 for the three scales and general scale. The results confirmed a factorial structure different. This factor explains 41,54 % of the variance for items of vigor, dedication and absorp-tion. This is consistent with UWES in version short. The standard for three dimensions and scale general was greater.
