Resumen
El objetivo de este estudio es examinar las propiedades psicométricas de la Escala de Percepción de Rumor Organizacional (PORS) en una muestra de trabajadores en Puerto Rico. El investigador desarrolló la escala usando el Método de Lawshe con doce expertos en la materia. La muestra consistió en 150 adultos trabajadores, el 65% eran mujeres y el 59% pertenecían al sector privado. La escala se construyó en una escala Likert de 7 puntos que variaba de 1 = "casi nunca" a 7 = "casi siempre". Esta contenía ocho ítems que cumplían con los criterios de discriminación y una solución de dos factores que explican los puntajes de varianza, además de poseer un alfa de Cronbach de (.87). Los resultados sugieren que la escala tiene un potencial para medir el constructo.
