espanolLa literatura cientifica ha reportado resultados importantes sobre el papel del capital psicologico como antecedente, consecuente, mediador o moderador de variables del comportamiento organizacional. Partiendo de la necesidad de instrumentos de medida adecuados para cada poblacion, el objetivo de esta investigacion es presentar un analisis de las propiedades psicometricas del Ipsicap-24. En el estudio participaron tres muestras de trabajadores colombianos provenientes de organizaciones de varios sectores de la economia y caracterizacion sociodemografica variada. Con datos de la primera muestra (N = 1517), dividida aleatoriamente en dos partes, se realizaron Analisis Factorial Exploratorio y Confirmatorio, asi el Ipsicap original de 36 items dio origen al Ipsicap-24, conformado por cuatro escalas: esperanza (7 items), optimismo (7 items), resiliencia (6 items) y autoeficacia (4 items). Para obtener evidencia de validez convergente y divergente del Ipsicap-24, respectivamente, la segunda muestra (N = 428) respondio el Cuestionario Utrecht Work Engagement (UWES); y la tercera muestra (N = 105), el Cuestionario General de Salud (General Health Questionnaire, GHQ-28). Los resultados obtenidos aportan evidencia de consistencia interna y validez de constructo para el Ipsicap-24. Esta nueva herramienta permite la evaluacion valida y confiable del capital psicologico en trabajadores colombianos. EnglishThe scientific literature has reported important results on the role of psychological capital as antecedent, consequent, mediator or moderator of organizational behavior variables. Based on the need for adequate measurements for each population, the objective of this research is to present an analysis of the psychometric properties of IPSICAP-24. Three samples of Colombian workers from organizations in various sectors of the economy and varied sociodemographic characterization participated in the study. With data from the first sample (N = 1517), randomly divided into two parts, Exploratory and Confirmatory Factor Analysis were performed, thus the original IPSICAP of 36 items gave rise to IPSICAP-24, consisting of four scales: hope (7 items) , optimism (7 items), resilience (6 items) and self-efficacy (4 items). In order to obtain evidence of convergent and divergent validity of IPSICAP-24, respectively, the second sample (N = 428) answered the Utrecht Work Engagement Questionnaire (UWES); and the third sample (N = 105), the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28). The results obtained provide evidence of internal consistency and construct validity for IPSICAP-24. This new tool allows the valid and reliable evaluation of psychological capital in Colombian workers.
