摘要：This article aims to analyze the psychometric properties of the Russian version of theUtrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES-9) by using a sample of 1783 employees ofa large Russian organization. We conducted a series of Confirmatory Factor Analysis(CFA) tests of the factorial structure and the configural, metric, scalar, factor variance,factor covariance, and factor means invariances of the model across gender and agegroups. The validity of the Russian version of the UWES-9 was investigated by studyingits relationship with burnout, job satisfaction, life satisfaction, and turnover intention.The CFA showed that both the 1-factor and the 3-factor models of the UWES-9fit well with the data, but the 3-factor model demonstrates a significantly better fit.However, the differences are minor; therefore, in practical terms, the models are identical.Thus the Russian version of the UWES-9 can be used both as a three-scale measurementand as a single scale of work engagement. Results from the multi-group CFAprovided evidence of factorial invariance of the 3-factor model across gender and agegroups. Internal consistencies of the vigor, dedication, and absorption subscales areacceptable. The results also suggested the convergent, discriminant, and incrementalvalidity of the UWES-9, as shown by its relationship with burnout, job satisfaction,life satisfaction, and turnover intention. The article also discusses the differences inlevels of work engagement within different gender and age groups. Overall, the resultsshow that the Russian version of the UWES-9 demonstrates acceptable psychometricproperties comparable with the original version and those in other languages. TheRussian version of the UWES-9 can therefore be recommended for use in researchand practice.
