          Abstract

          RESUMEN: En el estudio del engagement académico se han desarrollado diversas medidas en función de las teorías o perspectivas que dan soporte a dicho concepto; en consonancia con lo anterior, el presente artículo tiene como objetivo analizar las propiedades psicométricas de una escala de engagement académico, con base en una muestra de 102 estudiantes pertenecientes a una institución de educación superior en Ecuador. El cuestionario empleado fue la versión española de la Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES-S 9). Se analizó la estructura factorial de la escala con el método de estimación robusta. Los resultados obtenidos muestran que el modelo de dos factores presenta mejores índices de ajuste que el de uno y tres factores, por lo que se concluye que la estructura de dos factores es la más apropiada. De igual forma, los resultados llevan a concluir que la escala UWES-S 9 puede ser utilizada para estudiar el engagement en el contexto ecuatoriano.

          ABSTRACT: In the study of academic engagement several measurements have been developed around the theories and/or insights supporting such a concept. Accordingly, this paper is aimed at studying the psychometric properties of a scale for measuring academic engagement based on a sample of 102 students in a higher education institution in Ecuador. The questionnaire used for data collection is the Spanish version of the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES-S 9). The factorial structure of the scale was assessed by robust estimation method. The results obtained show that the two-factor model reports better index adjustments than those of the one-factor and three-factor models, concluding that the two-factor structure is more appropriate. Additionally, these results lead to conclude that UWES-S 9 scale can be used for studying engagement phenomenon in the Ecuadorian context.

          RESUMO: No estudo do engagement acadêmico, vêm sendo desenvolvidas diversas medidas em função das teorias e/ou perspectivas que dão suporte a esse conceito; em consonância com o anterior, este artigo tem como objetivo analisar as propriedades psicométricas de uma escala de engagement acadêmico, com base numa amostra de 102 estudantes de uma instituição de ensino superior no Equador. O questionário empregado foi a versão espanhola da Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES-S 9). Analisou-se a estrutura fatorial da escala com o método de estimativa profunda. Os resultados obtidos mostram que o modelo de dois fatores apresenta melhores índices de ajuste que o de um e três fatores, por isso se conclui que a estrutura de dois fatores é a mais apropriada. Assim mesmo, os resultados levam a concluir que a escala UWES-S 9 pode ser utilizada para estudar o engagement no contexto equatoriano.

          RÉSUMÉ: Dans l'étude de l'engagement scolaire, des diverses mesures fondées sur les théories et / ou les perspectives qui soutiennent ce concept ont été mises au point; en conséquence, cet article vise à analyser les propriétés psychométriques d'une échelle de l'engagement scolaire, sur la base d'un échantillon de 102 étudiants d'un établissement d'enseignement supérieur en Equateur. Le questionnaire utilisé a été la version espagnole de l'Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES-S 9). On a analysé la structure factorielle de l'échelle par la méthode de l'estimation robuste. Les résultats obtenus montrent que le modèle à deux facteurs a de meilleurs indices d'ajustement que ceux d'un et de trois facteurs ; donc, on conclut que la structure de deux facteurs est la plus appropriée. De même, les résultats conduisent à la conclusion que l'échelle UWES-S 9 peut s'utiliser pour étudier l'engagement dans le contexte équatorien.

          Burnout and engagement at work as a function of demands and control.

          The present study was designed to test the demand-control model using indicators of both health impairment and active learning or motivation. A total of 381 insurance company employees participated in the study. Discriminant analysis was used to examine the relationship between job demands and job control on one hand and health impairment and active learning on the other. The amount of demands and control could be predicted on the basis of employees' perceived health impairment (exhaustion and health complaints) and active learning (engagement and commitment). Each of the four combinations of demand and control differentially affected the perception of strain or active learning. Job demands were the most clearly related to health impairment, whereas job control was the most clearly associated with active learning. These findings partly contradict the demand-control model, especially with respect to the validity of the interaction between demand and control. Job demands and job control seem to initiate two essentially independent processes, and this occurrence is consistent with the recently proposed job demands-resources model.
