The aim of the present study was to analyse thefactorial invariance of the Mac Donald and Mac Intyre?s Generic Job Satisfaction Scale in Argentinaand Brazil. Researchers developed an instrumentalcross-sectional study on a non-probabilistic sampleof workers (nArgentina = 663, nBrazil = 672). The resultsindicate that the scale is invariant at configural (SBχ2/gl = 2.06, gfi = .96, cfi = .97, rmsea = .03), metric(δgfi = .009, δcfi = .008, δrmsea = .006), and scalar levels (δgfi = .007, δcfi = .009, δrmsea = .004);whereas, partially invariant at a strict level. In turn,the comparison of latent and observed means showsthat Brazilian participants are more satisfied withtheir jobs (MBrazil = 3.86, sdBrazil = .91, MArgentina = 3.52,sdArgentina = .90, t = 8.54, p < .000; cr = 11.062,p
