Este estudio ofrecido evidencias de validez de la escala de Calidad de Vida Laboral (WRQoL-2) en el contexto brasileño. Se analizó una muestra de 209 trabajadores brasileños económicamente activos. El análisis factorial confirmatorio confirmó la estructura de siete factores [Control en el Trabajo (CAW), Compromiso de los Empleados (EEN), Bienestar General (GWB), Interfaz Trabajo-Hogar (HWI), Satisfacción en la Carrera (JCS), Estrés en el Trabajo (SAW) y Condiciones Laborales (WCS)], mientras que los altos valores de consistencia interna indicaron fiabilidad. Las correlaciones significativas con la Batería de Evaluación de Salud Mental – Versión Pandemia (BASM-P) subrayaron la validez de criterio, vinculando una menor calidad de vida laboral con una mayor angustia mental. Los hallazgos apoyan el uso del WRQoL-2 para evaluar y mejorar las condiciones laborales en una muestra de trabajadores brasileños.
