Additional evidence for decent work scale: invariance and relations with sociodemographic, adaptability, work well-being, and burnout

This study sought to generate new validity evidence for the Brazilian version of decent work scale (DWS) and assess its predictive aspects on income, work well-being, and burnout. The sample consisted of 849 adult workers, and the study results showed positive psychometric evidence for DWS, accompanied by indications of measurement invariance. Finally, decent work was a positive predictor of income, satisfaction, and engagement at work and a negative predictor of burnout, in addition to establishing a mediating role between career adaptability and such variables. The importance of promoting decent work among women and people with low income to improve their personal and professional lives is discussed.
