Work Engagement on Teacher : Reliability and Construct Validity of Work Engagement Scale

Abstrak

Teachers have an important role in achieving educational goals, teachers who are involved in their work will always spend time in their work in education so they will achieve satisfaction in every work done and create a good working atmosphere. The purpose of this study is to test the reliability and construct validity of the teacher's work engagement scale. Work engagement is measured through 3 dimensions of  Vigor, dedication and absorption. The population in this study were high school teachers in Purwokerto with a total of 327 teachers and the sample in this study were 90 teachers. The sampling technique in this study used accidental sampling. The data collection method uses a work engagement scale. Data analysis in this study used the Structural Equation Model (SEM) using the SmartPLS 3.2.8 program. The results of this study indicate that the dimensions and indicators that can build teacher engagement include vigor, dedication and absorption. The dedication dimension has the highest contribution with a loading factor value of 0.911 and the vigor dimension has the lowest contribution with a loading factor value of 0.593. This study shows that all dimensions and indicators are valid and reliable with a Cronbach Alpha value of 0.638 and an AVE value of 0.765. So that the measuring instrument model is acceptable because this theory can describe the work engagement of teachers.
