The Intelectual and Creative Battery Evaluation - BAICA suggests the evaluation of two constructs in a single test: intelligence and creativity. BAICA is currently being developed in Brazil and is based on the american Woodcock Johnson III (WJ-III) Battery, which covers large areas of the C-H-C model of intelligence. The creativity evaluation is based on Torrance's creativity tests. This thesis aims at investigating validity evidences of criteria in Intelectual and Creative Battery Evaluation, youth and adult form - BAICA through a convergence source and making use of tests that have already been validated in Brazil and that succeed in measuring the same skills. Our sample was composed of high school freshmen from a public school, of which 48 were male and 51 were female. Age groups ranged from 15 to 17 years old. Participants were submitted to BAICA and to the following tests: Reasoning Battery Tests - BPR-5; Torrance Test of Creative Thinking, Verbal Form; Torrance Test of Creative Thinking, Figural form; Divided Attention Test - TEADI; and Alternate Attention Test - TEALT. The results were then analyzed according to Pearson's Correlation. For gender differences, we used the OneWay ANOVA for each of the tests applied. Results showed that there is significant correlation between all BAICA's cognitive subtests, as well as between all BPR-5, TEADI and TEALT subtests. Such correlation ranged from 0,28 to 0,52. The same was true for the creative verbal skills analyzed through BAICA and through Torrances' Test of Creative Thinking, verbal form, where significant correlations ranged from 0,26 to 0,54. Regarding figurative skills, there has been significant correlations between the skills analyzed, with the exception of the figurative originality and the picture's creative index. Finally, in what it regards gender, BAICA showed significant differences through ANOVA for the verbal thinking, figurative elaboration, verbal flexibility and expressive tiltles, as girls scored higher. We found little significant correlation for intelligence and creativity. We thus conclude that there is validity evidence for BAICA when it is used in convergence with other tests, but intellectual and creative skills show very weak relations. / Existe a necessidade de construir testes e valid?-los para a cultura brasileira. A Bateria de Avalia??o Intelectual e Criativa - BAICA prop?e a avalia??o de dois construtos em um ?nico teste, a intelig?ncia e a criatividade. A BAICA est? sendo desenvolvida no Brasil, baseada na bateria americana Woodcock Johnson III (WJ-III), que atende ?s ?reas amplas do modelo C-H-C de intelig?ncia. A parte da avalia??o da criatividade ? fundamentada nos testes de criatividade de Torrance. Neste sentido, o objetivo deste trabalho foi investigar as evid?ncias de validade de crit?rio da Bateria de Avalia??o Intelectual e Criativa em Jovens - BAICA, por fonte de converg?ncia, com testes j? validados no nosso pa?s que medem as mesmas habilidades. A amostra foi composta por 99 alunos do primeiro ano do Ensino M?dio de um escola p?blica, sendo 48 do g?nero masculino e 51 do g?nero feminino, com idades variando entre 15 e 17 anos. Foram aplicados nos participantes a BAICA e os seguintes testes: a Bateria de Provas de Racioc?nio - BPR-5, o teste Pensando Criativamente com Palavras de Torrance, o testes Pensando Criativamente com Figuras de Torrance, o Teste de Aten??o Dividida - TEADI e o Teste de Aten??o Alternada - TEALT. Os resultados obtidos foram analisados segundo a Correla??o de Pearson e foi realizada a An?lise Univariada da Vari?ncia para as diferen?as de g?nero, para cada instrumento aplicado. Os resultados apontaram uma correla??o significativa entre todos os subtestes cognitivos da BAICA e todos os subtestes da BPR-5, TEADI e TEALT apresentando uma correla??o significativa que variou de 0,28 ? 0,52. O mesmo ocorreu com as habilidades criativas verbais analisadas na BAICA e no teste de Palavras de Torrance, com correla??es significativas de 0,26 ? 0,54. Nas habilidades figurais houve correla??es significativas com as habilidades analisadas, exceto a originalidade figurativa e o ?ndice criativo figural. Com rela??o ao g?nero, a BAICA apresentou diferen?a significativa por meio da ANOVA para os subtestes de racioc?nio verbal, elabora??o figural, flexibilidade verbal e t?tulos expressivos, com melhores pontua??es para as meninas. Intelig?ncia e criatividade n?o apresentaram fortes rela??es e poucas correla??es significativas foram encontradas. Conclui-se a partir de tais dados que a BAICA possui evid?ncias de validade de crit?rio, quando utilizada converg?ncia com outros testes e que as habilidades intelectuais e criativas possuem fracas rela??es entre si.

Two psychometric studies were carried out, both involving the search for evidence of validity based on relationship with external variables, precisely the convergent type. The first study used the instrument Creative and Thinking Styles (2003) with the Pillars of Resiliency Scales test (Cardoso & Martins, 2013) in a sample of 134 subjects, with 64% (n = 86) of female participants, aged between 18 and 65 years (M = 32.27 and DP = 11.75). The second study used once more Pillars of Resiliency Scales test (2013) and the test Thinking Creatively with Words-Torrance Tests (Wechsler, 2006) in a sample of 101 subjects, with 66% (n = 67) of female participants, between the ages of 18 and 65 years old. The results of the study 1 showed positive and significant correlations between all the pillars of resiliency and the Nonconformist-Transformer Style, as well as negative correlations in the majority of the pillars of resiliency with the Cautious-Reflective Style. In study 2, no significant correlations were displayed between the creative measures offered by Torrance and the pillars of resiliency. We discuss the possible relationship found in results between qualitative and quantitative measures of creativity and its affinity with resilience, and finally, we suggest further studies should be conducted with other instruments that assess other resiliency models. / Considerando a criatividade e a resili?ncia como importantes caracter?sticas pessoais relatadas na literatura cient?fica, especialmente dentro do movimento da Psicologia Positiva, essa pesquisa tem como objetivo realizar estudos que investiguem a rela??o entre os dois construtos. Foram realizados dois estudos psicom?tricos, ambos envolvendo a busca por evid?ncias de validade com base na rela??o com vari?veis externas, do tipo convergente. O primeiro estudo utilizou o instrumento Estilos de Pensar e Criar com o teste Escalas Pilares de Resili?ncia em uma amostra de 134 sujeitos, sendo que 64% (n=86) dos participantes eram do sexo feminino, com idade entre 18 e 65 anos (M = 32,27 e DP = 11,75). Os resultados apontaram correla??es positivas e significativas entre todas os pilares de resili?ncia e o estilo Inconformista-Transformador, assim como correla??es negativas de grande parte dos pilares de resili?ncia com o estilo Cauteloso-Reflexivo. O segundo estudo utilizou novamente o instrumento Escala de Pilares de Resili?ncia e o Teste Pensando Criativamente com Palavras de Torrance em uma amostra de 101 sujeitos, sendo que 66% (n=67) eram do sexo feminino, com idade entre 18 e 65 anos (M = 28,83 e DP = 11,63). N?o foram encontradas correla??es significativas entre as medidas criativas proporcionadas pelo Torrance e os pilares de resili?ncia. Discute-se as poss?veis rela??es entre as diferen?as encontradas quando se faz uso de medida qualitativa e quantitativa da criatividade na sua rela??o com a resili?ncia. Por fim, sugere-se novos estudos com outros instrumentos que avaliem a resili?ncia a partir de outros modelos.

Job crafting consists of informal individual initiatives to modify the work, in order to optimize resources and demands and or to make it more engaging and rewarding. Individuals shape their work experience through actions that redefine the tasks and relationships involved in the work, as well as through cognitive changes in the way they perceive work. The theoretical model of job crafting proposes that such actions take place at different organizational contexts and are independent of the degree of autonomy, complexity and authority involved in each work. Since its emergence in the qualitative research in 2001, the proactive approach of job crafting has attracted growing interest from researchers and practitioners, as an alternative that explains and highlights the energetic and daily efforts of the individual to change their working environment. In Brazil, research in job crafting is at an early stage. Five different interconnected studies were undertaken to deepen the theoretical and empirical knowledge about job crafting and to advance its research in Brazil. The first study presents a systematic review of the international scientific literature on job crafting. Evidences revealed an increase of scientific publications about the construct, driven by the development of measures. We found a lack of production in our context and the need to adapt measures to assess the construct and promote empirical research about job crafting in Brazil. The second study, which theoretically introduces the theme, aimed to meet the need to contribute to a chapter about job crafting for book to be published in Brazil. The chapter situates the job crafting approach, revises its conceptualization in the international literature, describes the state of the art in the evaluation of the construct, portrays the main antecedents and outcomes of job crafting according to recent empirical studies and discusses some benefits and practical implications. The third study presents the adaptation and validation of the Job Crafting Questionnaire to the Brazilian context. We conducted two studies with professionals in Brazil to investigate the internal structure of the instrument through exploratory and confirmatory techniques. The results indicated that the instrument presented adequate psychometric characteristics, being a valid measure for assessing job crafting in general populations in Brazil. The fourth study presents a systematic review and a meta-analysis on the relationship between job crafting and well-being. The positive relationship between both constructs was corroborated. We found that the job crafting has a greater effect on the positive dimension of the well-being. This study also brought evidences of a significant difference between the effect of job crafting on occupational and general well-being measures, indicating a better performance of the latter. Finally, we undertook an exploratory study about the job demands-resources model in the Brazilian context. Drawing on the network analysis technique, we investigated the relationships between the variables of working conditions, work engagement, job crafting and well-being, predicted by the job demands-resources model. Results supported some relationships predicted by the theoretical model. However, the job crafting, which predicted work engagement, did not happen at the expenses of the working conditions (resources and demands). This finding indicates the need to investigate other intrinsic precedents of job crafting. These five products of the master?s thesis advance research in job crafting in Brazil. / A tem?tica central da presente disserta??o s?o os comportamentos proativos no trabalho denominados de job crafting. Tais comportamentos consistem em iniciativas individuais informais que buscam modificar o trabalho, para otimizar seus recursos e demandas e ou para torn?-lo mais envolvente e gratificante. Os indiv?duos moldam sua experi?ncia de trabalho atrav?s de a??es que redefinem as tarefas e as rela??es envolvidas no trabalho, bem como por meio de mudan?as cognitivas na forma de perceber o seu trabalho. O modelo te?rico do job crafting prop?e que tais a??es acontecem em diferentes contextos organizacionais e s?o independentes do grau de autonomia, complexidade e autoridade envolvidos no trabalho. Desde o seu surgimento na pesquisa qualitativa em 2001, a perspectiva proativa do job crafting tem despertado crescente interesse de pesquisadores e profissionais, como uma alternativa que explica e salienta os esfor?os proativos e cotidianos do indiv?duo para alterar seu contexto de trabalho. No Brasil, a pesquisa em job crafting encontra-se em est?gio inicial. Foram empreendidos cinco estudos diferentes e interconectados que buscaram aprofundar o conhecimento te?rico e emp?rico sobre o job crafting e avan?ar sua pesquisa no Brasil. O primeiro estudo apresenta uma revis?o sistem?tica da produ??o cient?fica internacional sobre o job crafting. Verificou-se um crescimento de publica??es cient?ficas sobre o construto, impulsionado pelo desenvolvimento de medidas. Constatou-se a aus?ncia de produ??o no nosso contexto e a necessidade de adaptar medidas para aferir o construto e impulsionar a pesquisa emp?rica sobre o job crafting no Brasil. O segundo estudo introduz teoricamente a tem?tica e objetivou atender ? necessidade de contribuir com um cap?tulo sobre job crafting para um livro ainda in?dito no Brasil1. O cap?tulo situa a abordagem do job crafting, revisa sua conceptualiza??o na literatura internacional, descreve o estado da arte na avalia??o do construto, retrata os principais antecedentes e desfechos do job crafting de acordo com recentes estudos emp?ricos, e discute alguns benef?cios e implica??es pr?ticas. O terceiro estudo apresenta a adapta??o e valida??o do Job Crafting Questionnaire para o contexto brasileiro. Conduziu-se dois estudos com profissionais no Brasil para investigar a estrutura interna do instrumento por meio de t?cnicas explorat?rias e confirmat?rias. Os resultados indicaram que o instrumento apresentou caracter?sticas psicom?tricas adequadas, sendo uma medida v?lida para avalia??o do job crafting em popula??es gerais no Brasil. O quarto estudo apresenta uma revis?o sistem?tica e uma metan?lise sobre a rela??o do job crafting com o bem-estar. Corroborou-se a rela??o positiva entre ambos construtos. Constatou-se um maior efeito do job crafting sobre a dimens?o positiva do bem-estar. Verificou-se a exist?ncia de uma diferen?a significativa entre o efeito do job crafting nas medidas de bem-estar ocupacionais e gerais, indicando um melhor desempenho destas ?ltimas. Por fim, apresenta-se um estudo explorat?rio sobre o modelo de recursos e demandas no trabalho no contexto brasileiro. Valendo-se da t?cnica de an?lise de redes, foram investigadas as rela??es previstas no modelo de recursos e demandas no trabalho, entre as vari?veis de condi??es de trabalho, engajamento no trabalho, job crafting e bem-estar. Os resultados corroboram algumas rela??es previstas no modelo te?rico. Por?m o job crafting, apesar de preditor do engajamento no trabalho, n?o aconteceu em virtude das condi??es de trabalho (recursos e demandas). Este achado indica a necessidade de investigar outros precedentes de natureza intr?nseca do job crafting. Estes cinco produtos da disserta??o avan?am o conhecimento sobre a pesquisa em job crafting no Brasil.
