Escala de satisfação com o grupo de trabalho (ESAGT): Construção e estudos de validação

Abstract

This paper aims to describe the process of construction and study of the psychometric qualities of the Group Satisfaction Scale (esagt). In a first study (n = 321 members/77 teams) the internal structure of esagt was studied through Exploratory Factor Analysis. The results revealed a one-dimensional structure, which was confirmed by conducting a Confirmatory Factor Analysis on a second sample (n = 403 members/73 teams). In a third study, the nomological validity of esagt was evaluated (n = 471 members/75 teams), and the results revealed the presence of negative correlation with intragroup conflict and negative emotions and a positive correlation with positive emotions. The reliability of esagt was evaluated and provided specific values in the three studies.
