LUNA, André  and  GONDIM, Sonia. Occupational self-efficacy scale for work-related sickness. Psicol. pesq. [online]. 2022, vol.16, n.2, pp. 1-19. ISSN 1982-1247.  http://dx.doi.org/10.34019/1982-1247.2022.v16.31996.

The study aimed to adapt an occupational self-efficacy measure (OSE) from a return to work self-efficacy scale (RTW-SE). Two sequential studies were carried out, the first for semantic validation, exploratory factor analysis and judges' evaluation, and another for confirmatory factor analysis. The instrument was tested on samples of industrial workers (n = 803). A three-factor solution was obtained, consistent with other versions of the RTW-SE scale: self-efficacy belief related to work completion (F1), management of affects (F2) and to reach out for social support (F3). The confirmatory test obtained good adjustment rates. Additionally, conceptual and practical aspects are discussed.
