Construct validation of the Narcissistic Admiration and Rivalry Questionnaire in Spanish-speaking countries: Assessment of the reliability, structural and external validity and cross-cultural equivalence
(Wiley-Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2019) Doroszuk M.; Kwiatkowska M.M.; Torres-Marín J.; Navarro-Carrillo G.; Włodarczyk, Anna; Blasco-Belled A.; Martínez-Buelvas L.; Newton J.D.A.; Oviedo-Trespalacios O.; Rogoza R.
A recent re-operationalisation of grandiose narcissism has resulted in the distinction of two narcissistic strategies based on the cognitive, affective-motivational and behavioural dynamics: admiration (assertive self-enhancement) and rivalry (antagonistic self-protection). The Narcissistic Admiration and Rivalry Questionnaire (NARQ) was developed to assess this model with two higher-order dimensions. However, cross-validations of the NARQ have not been extensively conducted across diverse population groups and languages. This study aimed to test the internal and external validity (through the relation with envy and self-esteem), reliability and cross-cultural equivalence of the Spanish version of the NARQ. The psychometric properties were evaluated in a Spanish sample (N = 310), and cross-cultural equivalence was tested in participants from Chile (N = 234) and Colombia (N = 256). The results supported the reliability and validity of the Spanish NARQ, as well as the cross-cultural equivalence across Spanish-speaking countries. In addition, we discuss obtained differences across Spanish, Chilean and Colombian sample within two narcissistic strategies. © 2019 International Union of Psychological Science
Generational diversity and quality of work life: Case study in the Colombian logistic sector
(International Business Information Management Association, IBIMA, 2019) Martínez-Buelvas L.; Jaramillo-Naranjo O.; Oviedo-Trespalacios O.; Soliman K.S.
Drawing upon generational differences in work values and attitudes, this article examines perception of quality of work life of three generational cohorts using survey data collected from 522 employees of the logistic sector of the Colombian Caribbean region. Results of ANOVA indicate that variables of quality of work life significantly differ depending on the generational membership of the employees. For example, Millennials were found to be a more distinct cohort from Gen Xers and Baby Boomers in terms of their relationship between promotion and career. However, the results suggest that employees in the older generations are likely to be more dedicated to, engrossed in, and even vigorous at work. © 2019 International Business Information Management Association (IBIMA).
Hand anthropometric study in northern Colombia
(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2017) Oviedo-Trespalacios O.; Martínez Buelvas, Laura; Hernández J.; Escobar J.
The main purpose of this study is to gather information about the dimensions of the northern Colombian (Caribbean region) population, focusing on the dimensions of the hand and comparing them with measurements from other regions. Thirty-two hand dimensions were chosen and 120 males and 86 females were measured. Results indicated that there were differences between the dimensions of the hand for men and women, showing that men are larger. Also, there was a comparison made between some measurements of other studies in different regions of Colombia, the USA, Chile, Jordan, Korea and Japan. The results indicated important physiological differences between regions in Colombia and across countries. It was therefore concluded that differences in anthropometric measurements must be included in the design and procurement of machinery and apparatus in order to avoid productivity loss, occupational injuries or illness. © 2016 Central Institute for Labour Protection–National Research Institute (CIOP-PIB).
Wage and subjective conditions assessing tool applied for the quality of work: Case of the manufacturing sector of the Colombian Caribbean region
(International Business Information Management Association, IBIMA, 2018) Martínez-Buelvas L.; Oviedo-Trespalacios O.; Luna-Amaya C.; Soliman K.S.
Wage and Subjective Conditions Assessing Tool was designed and applied as a tool for assessing psychosocial components of job safety in a sample of 518 employees from different companies in the manufacturing sector of the Colombian Caribbean region. Reliability analysis, exploratory factor analysis and principal components analysis with VARIMAX rotation were performed. Results show acceptable internal reliability of the scale (Α = 0.898) and satisfactory adequacy of factorial matrix data (KMO = 0.888). The factorial structure was represented by 20 items staggered into five groups: wages, job security, individual, hierarchical and technical level. In conclusion confirms the instrument adequate reliability and structural stability useful for the analysis and design of programs in order to implement changes in wage and subjective conditions to achieve employee satisfaction.

Women's perceived risk of sexual harassment in a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system: The case of Barranquilla, Colombia
(Elsevier Ltd, 2019) Orozco-Fontalvo M.; Soto J.; Arévalo A.; Oviedo-Trespalacios O.
Background: Sexual harassment in public transportation is a growing concern, particularly among women. Over the years, there have been several programs and policies to mitigate sexual harassment while using public transport. However, there is little evidence of the effectiveness of these strategies, especially in Latin America. Objective: This investigation aims to determine the factors that influence women's perceived risk of sexual harassment while using public transport in Colombia. Methods: In this study, we designed an image-based stated preferences survey based on the current bus rapid transit (BRT) system in Barranquilla, Colombia. Several variables were considered in this experiment including the time of the day, surveillance, and crowding, among others. For each scenario, participants reported whether they felt safe or not. Then, a logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify the factors that influence women's perceived risk of sexual harassment while using the BRT system. Results: The results show that more than 60% of respondents have been a victim of sexual harassment while using the BRT system. Also, overcrowded buses proved to have the most negative effect on the perceived risk of sexual harassment. Travelling at night, lighting and being alone were all significant variables as well. Conclusion: Sexual harassment could potentially influence use of the BRT. The findings of this research can be used to develop countermeasures and increase public transport ridership. © 2019 Elsevier Ltd
