Happiness is a positive affect, characterized by enjoyment, gratification and sense of life. The Authentic Happiness Inventory (AHI) is an instrument developed for measurement these three aspects. In this study, psychometric proprieties of instrument are reviewed with a sample of 802 Colombian Workers. The objective is to verify if it is an appropriated measure of happiness at life and happiness at work. We ask participants answer each item twice, first they had to think in their life and later in their work. The Subjective With Life Scale (SWLS) was used to verify the convergent validity. Reliability was explored with Cronbach's alpha. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was calculated to evaluate the structure of the scale. These conditions were reviewed in both, happiness and happiness at work. The high and positive correlations between SWLS and AHI are evidence of convergent validity. FCA revealed goodness of fit of tridimensional structure. The instrument have high levels of consistency. These results suggest that instrument is apt to measure happiness and happiness at work in Colombian Workers.
