Project Description

Summary:

The literature on leadership and one's own competencies shows limitations in terms of the definition of the construct, specifications of behaviors and its measurement associated with a diversity of theories without sufficient evidence. An explanatory design with latent variables and the statistical software SAS 9.4 were used for the validation and adaptation to Spanish and analysis of the data of the items, dimensions, fit of the model in the Virtuous Leadership Questionnaire in work psychologists and organizations and people who exercise leadership functions in Chile. The levels of agreement between judges for the adaptation to the Spanish language, the confirmatory factorial analysis of first order with four dimensions shows statistical indices of inefficient for the absolute, comparative and parsimonious adjustments. However, second-order confirmatory factor analysis with two dimensions shows an efficient fit for the item, model, and parameter matrices. Virtuous leadership would be feasible to measure and would provide relevant inputs for subsequent evaluation and training through ethical competencies aimed at improving management, which would allow its treatment as an independent variable to generate an ethical organizational culture.

Scope of Project

Subject Terms: Psychometry; leadership; virtues; testing and measurement

Geographic Coverage: Chile

Time Period(s): 8/17/2021 – 6/22/2022

Collection Date(s): 8/17/2021 – 6/22/2022

Universe: Work and organizational psychologists and professionals who exercise leadership functions

Data Type(s): survey data

Collection Notes: Data collection was carried out in accordance with the guidelines of the International Test Commission (ITC) and the NORME UNE ISO 10667

Methodology

Response Rate: The percentage of respondents in the sample who participated in the study was 100%

Sampling: The study participants (work and organizational psychologists and people who exercise leadership functions) were selected through non-probabilistic sampling, a sample by arrangement (n=759) and a selection error of 0.0356.

Data Source:

The data source was obtained through employment platforms, databases from different universities and public, private and social organizations.

Collection Mode(s): web-based survey

Scales: Leadership Virtues Questionnaire (LVQ. Riggio et al.19) was used, which has 19 items (second version) with the format of a Likert Scale [from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree)], which measured the virtues of prudence, temperance, justice and strength.

Weights:

A summative scale was used for the responses to the items for each dimension. An analysis of the metric properties of the items and the dimensions of the test was carried out to check the consistency between the theoretical and empirical factor structure.

Unit(s) of Observation: Individual responses

Geographic Unit: sample of Chilean professionals
