Participants were volunteer adults who, at the moment of the interview, were working in an organization. Changes in the Questionnaire were made with respect of the response format (form a dichotomous to a polytomous structure). Results show that there was a good scale adjustment to the theoretical proposed factorial structure. However, seven items were eliminated, remaining twenty-three items divided in 3 subscales. The first factor was denominated Work Fatigue General Symptoms (9 items), the second factor was named as Psychical Fatigue (7 items) and the third factor was denominated as Psychological Components of Work Fatigue. In terms of internal consistency, the scale Cronbach’s Alpha indicators show adequate levels. Conclusions stress the necessity of verifying the adequacy of this scale, to be achieved through more empirical studies. Se presenta una adaptación del Cuestionario de Síntomas de Fatiga Laboral de Yoshitake (1978) -versión castellana de Barrientos, Martínez y Mén-dez (2004)- respecto de su formato de respuestas con el fin de hacerlo más susceptible de manejar al momento de analizarlo a la par de otras escalas. Los participantes fueron voluntarios que al momen-to de la entrevista estuvieran trabajando en una organización. Los cambios del cuestionario fueron respecto del formato de respuestas (de ser dicotó-mico se convirtió a politómico). Los resultados muestran un ajuste de la escala a la estructura facto-rial propuesta desde la teoría. Se eliminaron siete ítems, quedando veintitrés repartidos en tres subes-calas. Al primer factor se le denominó síntomas generales de fatiga laboral (9 ítems), el segundo fue denotado como fatiga física (7 ítems) y el tercero como componentes psicológicos de la fatiga (7 ítems). En términos de consistencia interna el ins-trumento presentó niveles adecuados de alfa de Crombach. Se concluye resaltando la necesidad de comprobar la adecuación de esta escala, lo que se conseguirá a través de estudios empíricos.
