Abstract

The Working Conditions Survey was designed and applied as a tool for assessing psychosocial components of job safety in a sample of 518 employees from different companies in the manufacturing sector of the Colombian Caribbean region. Reliability analysis, exploratory factor analysis and principal components analysis with VARIMAX rotation were performed. Results show acceptable internal reliability of the scale (α = 0.793) and satisfactory adequacy of factorial matrix data (KMO = 0.785). The factorial structure was represented by 17 items staggered into five groups: physical load, thermal environment, noise, occupational hazards and safety at work. In conclusion confirms the instrument adequate reliability and structural stability useful for the analysis and design of programs in order to implement changes in working conditions to achieve employee satisfaction.
