    El principal objetivo de este trabajo es analizar las propiedades psicométricas y estructurafactorial de la adaptación castellana (González y De Elena, 1993) del cuestionario de implicación en el trabajo de Lodhal y Kejner (1965). El examen de la escala se lleva a cabo a par-tir de las respuestas de una muestra de 83 empleados de la administración y en función detres tipos de análisis. En primer lugar, se analiza la homogeneidad y fiabilidad de los 20ítems que componen el cuestionario. Los resultados muestran una buena consistencia internade la escala con un coeficiente αde .87. Por otra parte, se realiza un estudio de la estructurafactorial de la escala por medio del análisis factorial exploratorio. De acuerdo con los resulta-dos obtenidos puede afirmarse que la implicación en el trabajo evaluada por medio de laadaptación castellana del cuestionario de implicación de Lodhal y Kejner (1965) presenta una estructura multidimensional compuesta básicamente por tres dimensiones que coinciden básicamente con las descritas en la escala original. Finalmente, los resultados evidencian que el cuestionario presenta correlaciones significativas y del signo esperado con los criterios consi-derados lo que aporta apoyo empírico a la validez de constructo de la versión castellana delcuestionario de implicación en el trabajo

    The main goal of this paper is to analyze the psychometric features and factor structure of the Spanish version (González y De Elena, 1993) of the Lodhal and Kejner’s (1965) ‘Job Invol-vement’ questionnaire. The scale was applied to a sample of 83 public administration emplo-yees. Three types of analysis are taking place. On one hand, homogeneity and reliability forthe 20 items of the questionnaire are pursued. Results show a good internal consistency (αcoefficient=.87). On the other hand, an exploratory factor analysis is performed to achieve the scale factor structure. According to this, the Spanish version of the questionnaire shows amultidimensional structure, in fact the same trhee basic dimensions of the original scale. Finally, results also show that the questionnaire significantly correlates with the criteria, indicating an empirical support to the construct validity of the Spanish version.
