Se explora también si permite medir el Optimismo Organizációnál y hacia el Trabajo. Se pidió a los participantes responder cada ítem pensando en su vida, en su empresa y en su trabajo. Se revisó la validez convergente utilizando la Subjective Whit Life Scale (SWTS). La consistencia interna se estimó con la formula de Confiabilidad Compuesta y con el Alpha de Cronbach. Con un análisis factorial confirmatorio (ALC) se exploró la estructura de la escala. Hubo correlaciones altas, significativas y positivas entre Satisfacción con la Vida y Optimismo y negativas con Pesimismo. El ALC mostró ajuste de la estructura bidimensional. Se encontró una adecuada consistencia interna. Lo hallazgos indican que esta es una escala idónea para la evaluación del Optimismo/Pesimismo en la Vida, la Empresa y el Trabajo.Resumen alternativo:The Orientation With Life Scale measures optimism.
