Resumen
La literatura define el compromiso laboral como un estado mental positivo, marcado por la presencia psicológica en el trabajo, que involucra componentes físicos, emocionales y cognitivos. Esta revisión sistemática tuvo como objetivo identificar instrumentos internacionales para medir el engagement. Se definieron fuentes de información, estrategia de búsqueda, criterios de elegibilidad de artículos, criterios de análisis, proceso de extracción de datos de artículos y presentación de resultados. Se recuperaron y analizaron un total de 71 estudios a partir de bases de datos científicas, incluidos artículos de periódicos, libros y capítulos de libros. Se identificaron 25 escalas Likert (de las cuales se analizaron 15), que son diferentes entre sí, de acuerdo con la perspectiva teórica del compromiso. Se considera que este artículo, al señalar diferentes escalas psicométricas, y ajustando cada una em cuatro perspectivas teóricas diferentes, puede ayudar a los investigadores a elegir aquellas que mejor se adapten a sus propósitos científicos.
