Abstract

The objective of this research was to verify the preliminary evidence of validity and reliability of the Professional Fulfillment scale of Federal University Professors (PFS-FUP), elaborated from the Professional Fulfillment model, understood as a process derived from a subjective assessment of career development. After being evaluated by a committee of experts and conducting a pilot test, the final version of the scale was applied to 220 Brazilian professors from the federal higher education system. Then, evidence of validity was verified based on (a) the internal structure of the instrument and (b) convergent validity, (c) reliability analysis and (d) analysis of correlations with sociodemographic variables. The instrument's precision indicators were satisfactory and the results according to the sociodemographic characteristics of participants reinforced the relationship among the construct and career-related factors. Therefore, the PFS-FUP can be used in research and interventions with professors at federal institutions of college education in Brazil.

Keywords: professional fulfillment, college education, statistical validity.
