Resumen

El entorno y la personalidad interactúan determinando la forma en que se comporta un sujeto, pero la investigación sobre cómo conceptualizar y medir el entorno es aún escasa. Este artículo aborda este tema presentando evidencia sólida sobre la confiabilidad y validez de la escala Situational Strength at Work (SSW) (Meyer et al., 2014) en contextos laborales de habla hispana. A través de tres estudios encontramos evidencia sólida para la estructura de cuatro factores del constructo de fuerza situacional, que comprende claridad, consistencia, restricciones y consecuencias, con una confiabilidad adecuada para cada factor. Los resultados de los estudios también encontraron que el instrumento es invariante según el sexo, el país (España, Ecuador y México) y la ocupación (vendedores, docentes y oficinistas). Se probaron con éxito la validez convergente y discriminante y el análisis exploratorio gráfico de redes dio resultados satisfactorios. Se señalan implicaciones teóricas y prácticas y se concluye que la escala SSW es un instrumento adecuado para investigar la fuerza situacional en el trabajo a nivel internacional en contextos hispanohablantes.
