Abstract

Background: The Demands-Resources Model in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) suggests that technology can act as a facilitating resource or add demands, influencing occupational stress and health. Objective: To adapt and validate the ICT Demands and Resources Scales in the Brazilian context, exploring their psychometric properties. Methods: The study involved 213 Brazilian workers who used ICT in their job tasks, mostly male (64.8%), with an average age of 35.5 and higher education (92.5%). The measure was administered online, and the data were analyzed using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and the Omega reliability coefficient. Results: The CFA revealed a structure similar to the original, with eight factors for the Demands Scale and two for the Resources Scale, both with satisfactory Omega coefficients and adequate fit indices. Conclusion: The measure shows adequate psychometric validity for investigating demands and resources in ICT work environments, offering a useful tool for managers seeking to assess and balance these aspects in the workplace, thereby helping prevent occupational stress.
