Abstract
The Psychology of Working Theory (PWT) has been effective in fostering discussions about social justice and career development. In this study, psychometric scales that assess economic constraints, experiences with marginalization, and job satisfaction were adapted, and comprehensive theoretical models were illustrated in the analysis. With a sample of 399 Brazilian workers, the scales showed a satisfactory evidence of internal and external structure and adequate levels of precision. The results of the structural model of PWT partially support the hypotheses of the original theory. Further research on specific Latin American and other impoverished populations worldwide is recommended.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
