CARDOSO, Hugo Ferrari  and  BAPTISTA, Makilim Nunes. Self-efficacy scale at work (EAE-T): construction and psychometric studies. Gerais, Rev. Interinst. Psicol. [online]. 2019, vol.12, n.1, pp. 3-18. ISSN 1983-8220.  http://dx.doi.org/10.36298/gerais2019120102.

The purpose of the study was to construct and develop validity evidence studies based on the internal structure and reliability of a self-efficacy assessment scale at work (Escala de Autoeficácia no Trabalho - EAE-T). 260 workers, from both public and private companies of some cities of the interior of the state of São Paulo, participated. The EAE-T scale presented 42 items; however, after a exploratory factorial analysis it was composed of 17 items (α = 0.90), grouped into three aspects: interpersonal labor relations (eight items and α = 0.89), work performance (four items and α = 0.78) and relationship with leadership (four items and α = 0.66). EAE-T revealed to be an adequate scale for the evaluation of self-efficacy at work; nevertheless, new studies on the effects of the confirmatory factorial analysis and studies to evidence other forms of validity for the instrument are needed.

Keywords : Self-efficacy at work; Organizational and work psychology; Psychological evaluation.
