Work inclusion of people with disabilities: WINDIPS Scale Validation in colombian organizations

Abstract

Work inclusion of people with disabilities is an emerging issue in organizations from the perspective of rights and corporate social responsibility, it is important to have measuring instruments to evaluate the development of this process. It is intended to determine the psychometric properties of the Scale of Labor Inclusion of People with Disabilities. Under an instrumental design, with a sample of 512 workers, the majority were women (62.9%), the sectors with the highest participation were commercial (28.5%) and services (27.9%). The psychometric qualities of the scale are assessed from exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. The results reflect properties adjusted to the instrument with adequate internal consistency. The reliability index of the factors Support and connection was 0.94, Permanence 0.90 and Progress 0.84. A three-factor solution model is obtained, whose goodness of fit was sχ2/df = 2.58, CFI = 0.98, TLI = 0.98, RMSEA = 0.079 (90% CI: 0.062 - 0.096), indicating that it is guaranteed construct validity. According to the exploratory factor analysis, an adequate sample adequacy index is observed. Likewise, the confirmatory factor analysis shows that the relationship model has an adequate level of adjustment. The scale can be applied to populations in similar contexts to identify levels of implementation of labor inclusion practices.
