Abstract

This study aims to investigate a linguistic and cultural adaptation of the nine-item version of the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES-9) into Indonesian, as well as to examine its construct validity and internal reliability in the context of Indonesia. The adaptation process followed standard procedures for cross-cultural instrument adaptation, including forward translation, back-translation, field testing, and psychometric analysis. Data were collected from 252 workers in South Sulawesi Province with diverse demographic backgrounds and types of employment. Analysis was carried out using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and internal reliability analysis. The results showed that two main dimensions of the UWES-9, namely vigor and dedication, had adequate construct validity and reliability, while the absorption dimension showed weaknesses in convergent validity and internal consistency (ω = .35). The three-factor model of the Indonesian version of the UWES-9 did not yet demonstrate optimal model fit (CFI = .83, TLI = .74, RMSEA = .22, SRMR = .09), indicating the need for structural modification, particularly in the absorption dimension. These findings highlight the importance of contextually and culturally valid instrument adaptation to ensure effective and accurate use before being widely applied for psychological measurement in Indonesian workplaces. In addition, further research is highly recommended to explore cultural factors that may influence individuals' responses to this instrument within the local work context.

Abstract

This study aims to adapt and examine the construct validity and internal reliability of the Abusive Supervision Scale Short Version (5-item) in the Indonesian context. The background of this research is based on the limited number of studies on abusive supervision in non-Western countries, particularly in Indonesia, which is characterized by high power distance. This study employed a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional survey design involving 252 employees who have direct supervisors in the province of South Sulawesi. The sample was selected purposively, and the scale was administered via an online platform. Data analysis was carried out using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) with the WLSMV estimation method. The results show that the unidimensional model of the scale has a very good fit based on CFI (.998), TLI (.996), and SRMR (.019), with an RMSEA value of (.099). All items had factor loading values above 0.89 and were significant (p < .001), as well as an Average Variance Extracted (AVE) value of .89. In addition, the overall Omega coefficient value of .94 indicates very high internal reliability. These findings indicate that this scale is proven to be valid and reliable in measuring perceptions of abusive supervision in the Indonesian context. Practically, this short scale is useful for researchers and organizational practitioners because it can be used efficiently without increasing respondent fatigue, while still being able to provide an accurate depiction of the dynamics of abusive supervision.
