Resumen
La sobre-cualificación laboral percibida es un fenómeno psicosocial que puede afectar a las personas en su empleo y que tiene lugar cuando los empleados perciben que tienen capacidades y destrezas que exceden los requisitos de su trabajo. Para comprender mejor cómo se presenta este fenómeno en Puerto Rico y países de habla hispana, es necesario contar con instrumentos adecuados para su medición. El propósito de este estudio fue analizar las propiedades psicométricas de la Escala de Sobre-cualificación Laboral Percibida (ESLP): validez de constructo, validez convergente y discriminante, análisis de los ítems y fiabilidad. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 400 participantes de diversos sectores laborales en Puerto Rico. Los resultados evidencian que la ESLP posee una estructura bi-factorial (necesidades del puesto y exceso de recursos) con niveles de validez y confiabilidad apropiados. A la luz de los hallazgos, concluimos que la ESLP es un excelente instrumento para medir la sobre-cualificación laboral percibida en distintos contextos laborales en Puerto Rico y demás países hispanohablantes, así como una herramienta útil para investigaciones e intervenciones organizacionales.
