Sumario:Introduction: Despite gratitude's potential to promote wellbeing and performance in organizational settings, its role in the workplace is understudied. Although the literature indicates few attempts to develop scales for evaluating this construct in North America, no Spanish version exists to assess the validity and reliability of these scales in other contexts. This study aimed to translate into Spanish, adapt, and analyze the validity and reliability of a scale to evaluate gratitude toward the organization in Peruvian teachers. Methods: An instrumental study was carried out through convenience sampling. A sample of 448 Regular Basic Education teachers from a private educational network that has an important presence in the three regions of Peru was used. The analyses were performed using the Covariance Structural Equation Model (CB-SEM) with the AMOS 24 statistical software. Results: Confirmatory Factor Analysis provided model fit indices (2 factors) between excellent and acceptable (CMIN/DF = 2.872; CFI = 0.983; SRMR = 0.028; RMSEA = 0.064; Pclose = 0.031). It also demonstrated good internal consistency (α = 0.890 and 0.953; CR = 0.895 and 0.954; AVE = 0.682 and 0.721). Discussion: The results of this study support this measurement scale as a two-dimensional tool that can be used in business practice to measure gratitude in organizations and study the effectiveness of interventions related to wellbeing and gratitude in the workplace.
