Resumen

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.
