Sumario:The aim of the study was to use the substantive validity strategy to evaluate the content of the UNIPSICO’s workload scale. 30 workers from Lima (Perú) with undergraduate or graduate studies and with one year of work experience participated. Participants judged the correspondence of the workload items with their construct, and it was also contrasted with other constructs (role conflict, coping and labor self-efficacy); additionally, the clarity of the items was evaluated. High levels of item’s clarity was found; and substantive validity of all items was satisfactory to evaluate the divergence with other constructs. We discuss the importance of including non-expert participants in content validity methods, conceptual differentiation of items, and in constructs associated with psychosocial factors.
