Abstract

Purpose The purpose of this study is to present validation evidence of a Portuguese version of the multidimensional work motivation scale, an instrument within the framework of the self-determination theory, suitable for both Brazil and Portugal. Design/methodology/approach The current study demonstrates the suitability of this version in both Portugal (N = 999) and Brazil (N = 720). The authors applied confirmatory factor analyses (CFA) and tested the invariance between samples. Findings Results from CFA found the same structural dimensions as in the original study, invariant across both samples. Convergent and discriminant validity were shown through correlations between motivation subscales with affective commitment and emotional exhaustion. Originality/value Overall, the data provided strong evidence for the reliability and validity of the Portuguese version of the scale and reinforces the instrument as a cross-culturally valid measure of work motivation.

多维工作动机量表:葡萄牙和巴西的心理测量学研究

本研究的目的是提供葡萄牙语版多维工作动机量表的验证证据，该量表是自决理论框架内的一种工具，适用于巴西和葡萄牙。设计/方法/方法当前的研究证明了该版本在葡萄牙(N = 999)和巴西(N = 720)的适用性。作者应用验证性因子分析(CFA)并检验样本之间的不变性。CFA的结果发现了与原始研究相同的结构维度，两个样本都是不变的。动机子量表与情感承诺和情绪耗竭的相关研究显示趋同效度和区别效度。原创性/价值总体而言，这些数据为葡萄牙语版量表的可靠性和有效性提供了强有力的证据，并加强了该工具作为跨文化有效的工作动机衡量标准的作用。
