Abstract
Background: Karasek and Theorell’s Job Demands-Control Model argues that adverse health-related outcomes, both psychological and physiological, arise from a combination of high job demand and a low level of job control. The objective was to adapt Meijman and Kompier’s Bus Drivers’ Job Demands Scale (BDJD-24), which enables us to assess the job demands of bus drivers, to Spanish. Method: The final version of the Spanish adaptation was applied to a sample made up of 287 bus drivers living in Spain (80.1% men and 19.9% women), whose average age was 40.44 (SD= 11.78). Results: The results yielded a three-factor structure for the scale used: Time Pressure, Safety, and Passengers. These findings confirm that the Spanish version replicates the factor structure of the original English scale. The reliability of the three subscales was acceptable, ranging from .75 to .84. Furthermore, the subscales were also related to different external correlates and to other scales and showed good convergent and criterion validity. Conclusions: The present instrument can be used to evaluate job demands of bus drivers, as its psychometrics are substantially sound.
Versión española de la Bus Drivers’ Job Demands Scale (BDJD-24). Antecedentes: el modelo de Job Demands-Control de Karasek y Theorell considera que los resultados nocivos tanto psicológicos como fisiológicos relacionados con la salud son una combinación de una alta demanda laboral y un bajo control sobre el trabajo. El objetivo ha sido adaptar al español la escala Bus Drivers’ Job Demands Scale (BDJD-24), de Meijman y Kompier, que permite evaluar las demandas laborales de los conductores de autobús. Método: la muestra a la que se aplicó la versión final de la adaptación española constaba de 287 conductores de autobús residentes en España (80,1% hombres y 19,9% y mujeres) con una edad media de 40,44 años (DT= 11,78). Resultados: la escala analizada presentó una estructura trifactorial: Presión del Tiempo, Seguridad y Pasajeros. De esta forma se confirma que la versión española replica la estructura factorial de la original inglesa. Las tres subescalas mostraron una fiabilidad aceptable que oscila entre 0,75 y 0,84. Además, éstas fueron relacionadas con diversos correlatos externos y con otras escalas, mostrando una buena validez convergente y criterial. Conclusiones: el presente instrumento puede utilizarse para evaluar las demandas del trabajo de los conductores de autobús dado que tiene una apreciable bondad psicométrica.
