Older employees' affective job satisfaction is an aspect that arouses growing interest among researchers. Among the affective measures of job satisfaction, the Brief Index of Affective Job Satisfaction (BIAJS) is one of the most used in the last decade. This study is intended to the test the gender invariance of the BIAJS in two samples of workers over age 40 in Spain. The first sample, of 300 participants and the second sample, of 399 participants, have been used to test gender invariance of the BIAJS. In comparison with the original English version, the Spanish version of the BIAJS has adequate psychometric properties. The findings allow us to consider it a valid and reliable tool to assess older people's affective expressions about their work. In addition, this study provides evidence of its factorial invariance as a function of gender.
年长员工的情感工作满意度是一个引起研究人员越来越多兴趣的方面。在工作满意度的情感测量中,简明情感工作满意度指数(BIAJS)是过去十年中使用最广泛的指标之一。本研究旨在检验BIAJS在西班牙40岁以上的两个工人样本中的性别不变性。第一个样本有300名参与者,第二个样本有399名参与者,已被用于检验BIAJS的性别不变性。与原始英文版本相比,BIAJS的西班牙文版本具有足够的心理测量特性。这些发现使我们能够将其视为评估老年人对工作的情感表达的有效且可靠的工具。此外,本研究提供了其作为性别函数的因子不变性的证据。
