Design and validation of a questionnaire about the perception of equality in the world of work

Abstract

Many studies show that from a gender perspective we are still a long way from achieving equality in the workplace, and that much work needs to be done before it is attained. However, in our environment, and especially among young people, a false perception prevails that equality in the workplace has already been achieved. To assess the degree of this perception among young people today, this article presents the theoretical design and validation of a questionnaire that measures labor relations considering five different realms: hierarchy, roles and group dynamics, naturalization, and adaptation to types of work and strategic lines.
