Abstract
This study sought to generate new validity evidence for the Brazilian version of decent work scale (DWS) and assess its predictive aspects on income, work well-being, and burnout. The sample consisted of 849 adult workers, and the study results showed positive psychometric evidence for DWS, accompanied by indications of measurement invariance. Finally, decent work was a positive predictor of income, satisfaction, and engagement at work and a negative predictor of burnout, in addition to establishing a mediating role between career adaptability and such variables. The importance of promoting decent work among women and people with low income to improve their personal and professional lives is discussed.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal for Educational and Vocational Guidance publishes articles in relation to work and leisure, career development, career counselling and guidance and career education, which have preferably either an international content (e.g. comparative studies, multi or cross-cultural perspectives, regional surveys, etc.) or contribute to topics of broad international interest (e.g. theoretical developments, ethical issues, etc.). Important national developments which are of wider interest can be included. All articles should present implications for practice.
