- Abstract
Approach temperament is characterized as a general neurobiological sensitivity to desirable positive stimuli, while the avoidance temperament is instigated by undesirable negative events. The study gathered initial evidence of validity of internal structure and relations with external variables of the Approach-Avoidance Temperament Questionnaire (ATQ) in Brazilian workers. In total, 453 workers of both gender (79.2% female) participated in the study. Confirmatory factor analyses indicated that the adjusted model of two uncorrelated factors was the one that obtained the best adjustment indices. In relation to external variables, the dimensions of approach and avoidance presented, respectively, low positive correlations and low to moderate negative correlations, with work engagement, career adaptability and role performance at work. The initial evidence of validity obtained recommends the use of the ATQ in future research carried out in the Brazilian organizational context.
