Sumario:The Job Demands-Resources model (Bakker & Demerouti, 2007) is currently an important framework in explaining health and motivational-related processes at work.The present study examined the psychometric properties ofthree scales measuring general personal resources previouslyvalidated in a sample of university students derived from the Social Cognitive theory related to the workplace: Scale of Perceived Social Support, Scale of Outcome Expectations and Scale of Goal Progress. Two hundred and twenty-three Argentinian workers participated in the study. Internal structure, criterion validity and reliability (Cronbach’s alpha and omega) were assessed. The results support the unidimensionality of the scales and theoretically relevant relations with the dimensions of burnout, engagement, positive emotions and job satisfaction as well as appropriate indicators of reliability. Practical implications of the findings are discussed.
