Resumen

El Empowerment Psicológico es un constructo motivacional, garantizando las condiciones que aumentan la motivación para llevar a cabo las tareas, con un fuerte sentido de auto-eficacia. El objetivo de este estudio es analizar la estructura factorial de la escala de Empowerment Psicológico en una muestra portuguesa de 230 trabajadores de una universidad pública portuguesa. Los resultados del análisis factorial confirmatorio, de la escala de 12 ítems, mostraron una estructura de cuatro dimensiones y una elevada fiabilidad, por lo que puede ser considerada apropiada para su aplicación en el contexto portugués. Del mismo modo, nuevos estudios son necesarios sobre esta temática especialmente por su relación con aspectos organizacionales significativos en las empresas.
