BOLUARTE CARBAJAL, Alicia. Analysis of the job descriptive index in health care workers in Lima, Peru. Rev Med Hered [online]. 2019, vol.30, n.1, pp.20-26. ISSN 1018-130X.  http://dx.doi.org/10.20453/rmh.v30i1.3468.

Objectives: To obtain reliable indicators of the job descriptive index (JDI) through a factorial analysis. Methods: A psychometric study was conducted. The JDI is composed of 72 items grouped in five dimensions: general work, salary, partners, supervision and promotion. In addition a general scale measures overall satisfaction. The samples size was 166 workers of three public health institutions in Lima. Factorial analysis and internal consistency analysis with the omega coefficient were carried-out. Results: The dimensions worked properly. The items showed good discriminatory capacity. Reliability indicators were 0.86 and 0.94. Conclusions: JDI is adequate to evaluate conditions at work. The complementary scale need to be re-evaluated.

Keywords : Job Satisfaction; indexes; factor analysis; statistical; reproducibility of results.
