Abstract (2. Language): 
Purpose: This article examines the construct definition and validation of appropriate scales to measure the degree of display of the high involvement work practices. The ultimate goal is to propose a measurement model of high involvement practices to ensure the configurational invariance of the three samples and pass the tests of convergent and discriminant validity. Design/methodology: Using a confirmatory factor model with data from Spain (N1 = 105) and United States (N2 = 212, N3 = 145), checking whether the grouping of items in the categories proposed in the theoretical models fit the data set. Findings and originality/value: It is found that a single construct that groups all high involvement practices is not an appropriate model and the model scales reflective communication and training and have passed the tests for validation, while the participation and rewards scales have not been able be validated from a reflective point of view and perhaps should be treated as a formative model. Originality/value: We extend previous research by checking the reflective second order factor model used in many previous studies without being informed the validation.

Abstract (Original Language): 
Objeto: Se definen los constructos y se validan escalas para medir el grado de desplegué de las prácticas de alta implicación de los operarios. El objetivo final es proponer un modelo de medida de las prácticas de alta implicación que asegure la invarianza configuracional de las tres muestras y supere las pruebas de validez convergente y discriminante. Diseño/metodología/enfoque: Se usará un modelo factorial confirmatorio con datos de España (N1=105) y Estados Unidos (N2=212, N3= 145), comprobando si la agrupación de ítems en las categorías propuestas en los modelos teóricos se ajusta al conjunto de datos obtenidos. Aportaciones y resultados: Se ha comprobado que un sólo constructo que agrupe todas las prácticas de alta implicación no es un modelo adecuado y que el modelo reflectivo de escalas de formación y comunicación han superado las pruebas para ser validado, mientras que las escalas de participación y remuneración no han podido ser validadas desde un punto de vista reflectivo y quizás deban ser tratadas como un modelo formativo. Originalidad / Valor añadido: Extendemos la investigación precedente comprobando el modelo reflectivo factorial de segundo orden usado en multitud de estudios previos sin haber sido informada su validación. Palabras clave: Prácticas de alta implicación de los operarios, Gestión de recursos humanos, Participación, Validación de cuestionario
