Abstract

The aim of this paper was to examine the factor structure of the instruments measuring work engagement (Utrecht Work Engagement Scale / UWES) for Somaliland Telecommunication employees via factor analysis approach. Confirmatory factor analyses in the sample supported the superiority of the proposed three-factor structure of the UWES (vigor, dedication, and absorption). The results suggest that the UWES are valid instruments for testing work engagement.
