Abstract

In this study, we develop and validate a specific instrument to assess the workplace environment. The instrument, once developed, was submitted for review by a multidisciplinary group of experts who assessed its logical and content validity. To determine the construct validity, a factor analysis was used with main components and Varimax rotation. A self-administered instrument including 46 items was designed to measure the atmosphere in a public university. Six variables are consistent with the criteria established by standard ISO 9001:2008. The instrument was applied to 112 administrative employees. Seventeen items were eliminated from the analysis because they showed a low correlation. The analysis revealed that six variables explained variation of 62.90%. The scale has good inner validity and consistency. A final scale was accepted with 27 items. The global rating of the questionnaire had a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.922.
