Openness toward organizational change is central to employees' responses to organizations' strategic actions. This study aims to assess the validity evidence of the Openness Toward Organizational Change Scale (OTOCS) by examining the internal structure of the measure (e.g., dimensionality, reliability, measurement invariance) and its relations with other variables such as quality of work life, burnout, job satisfaction, and work engagement. A cross-sectional study was conducted using total sample of 1,175 workers, with 565 workers from Portugal and 610 from Brazil. The data provided satisfactory validity evidence based on the internal structure: the expected dimensionality was confirmed, acceptable levels of reliability were found, and measurement invariance was achieved among countries and sex. The measure also demonstrated satisfactory validity evidence based on the relations to other variables, being negatively associated with burnout and positively associated with work engagement, job satisfaction and quality of work. The OTOCS proved to be a relatively short self-report measure with satisfactory validity evidence to be used among Brazilian and Portuguese workers.
对组织变革的开放性是员工对组织战略行动反应的核心。本研究旨在通过考察该量表的内部结构（如维度、信度、测量不变性）及其与其他变量（如工作生活质量、倦怠、工作满意度和工作投入度）的关系，来评估组织变革开放性量表（OTOCS）的效度证据。采用横断面研究，样本总数为1175名工人，其中565名来自葡萄牙，610名来自巴西。基于内部结构，数据提供了令人满意的效度证据：确认了预期的维度，发现了可接受的信度水平，并且在国家和性别之间实现了测量不变性。基于与其他变量的关系，该量表也显示出令人满意的效度证据，与倦怠呈负相关，与工作投入度、工作满意度和工作质量呈正相关。OTOCS被证明是一种相对简短的自陈式量表，具有令人满意的效度证据，可用于巴西和葡萄牙的工人。
