abstract = {In recent decades, profound transformations in work organization, employment conditions,
and organizational change processes have intensified workers’ exposure to psychosocial
risks, with significant consequences for occupational health and well-being. Despite the
growing relevance of these risks, organizations often lack psychometrically robust instru
ments capable of capturing psychosocial stressors associated with change, Conflicts, and
working conditions in an integrated manner. The purpose of this study was to develop
and psychometrically evaluate a questionnaire designed to measure psychosocial factors
related to organizational changes, interpersonal Conflicts, and occupational well-being. An
instrumental study design was employed, following international standards for the con
struction and validation of psychological instruments. The sample consisted of 350 workers
with a mean age of 33.19 years (SD = 9.18; range: 18–66) and an average organizational
tenure of 6.71 years (SD = 8.61). The initial 48-item questionnaire was refined to a final
version comprising 24 items distributed across 7 scales: Organizational Changes, Work
Program, Job Security, Promotion, Training, Interpersonal Conflicts, and Lack of Participation. Preliminary analyses indicated that the data adequately met the assumptions for
factor analysis (KMO = 0.81; Bartlett’s test χ2 = 4376.98, p < 0.001). The results supported
a seven-factor structure explaining 72% of the total variance, with clear and interpretable
factor loadings consistent with the theoretical model. Internal consistency was acceptable
to excellent across scales (α = 0.72–0.91; ω = 0.84–0.95), including short scales with three
items. Inter-scale correlations were low to moderate, supporting discriminant validity and
indicating that the dimensions, while related, represent distinct constructs. Overall, the
f
indings provide strong evidence for the instrument’s reliability and validity based on its
internal structure, supporting its use for psychosocial risk assessment and research on
organizational changes, interpersonal Conflicts, and occupational well-being.},
