Sumario:Objective: to construct and evaluate the psychometric properties of an instrument that evaluates workaddiction in young people and adults between the ages of 20 to 66, who are necessarily workers.Methodology: in the first stage of the study, the conceptual delimitation of the construct and thepreliminary preparation of the instrument (8 items) with four response categories were carried out. Inthe second stage, a pilot sample of 239 people was administered. Results: content validity, obtainedscores above (.80), also, exploratory factor analysis was carried out in order to submit the theoreticaland dimensional nature of the construct to a rigorous analysis, reaching the KMO Sample AdequacyMeasure a score of (.891), it is also seen that the items form a single factor that explains 45.7% of thevariance and where their factor weights are high (> .50). Finally, the Cronbach’s alpha coefficient (.868)was obtained, being a valued score as an indicator of high reliability. Conclusion: the Work AddictionTest shows good internal consistency and construct validity.
