Abstract: | The aim of this study is to adapt and consequently validate the Global Transformational Leadership measuring
scale (GTL). The scale was therefore applied to a sample of 456 members of 70 work groups,
belonging to 26 organizations. The factorial structure of the scale was analysed through the exploratory
factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), with the sample being split in two equal
parts: EFA was conducted in both sub-samples and CFA was applied in the second sub-sample. The internal
consistency was evaluated via Cronbach’s alpha and the nomological validity was analysed via the
evaluation of the GTL’s correlations with both team-level autonomy and quality of group experience.
The results revealed the presence of a unidimensional scale with a good level of internal consistency.
Regarding the nomological validity, the results pointed to hypothetical relations, since the GTL showed
positive correlations with the variables considered. Thus, the Portuguese version of the GTL is presented
as a useful instrument for evaluating transformational leadership El objetivo de este estudio fue adaptar y, consecuentemente, validar al portugués la escala Global Transformational Leadership (GTL). La escala se aplicó a una muestra de 456 miembros de 70 grupos de trabajo, pertenecientes a 26 organizaciones. La estructura factorial fue analizada mediante el análisis factorial exploratorio (AFE) y el análisis factorial confirmatorio (AFC), después de dividir la muestra en dos partes iguales: la AFE se aplicó en las dos muestras y la CFA en la segunda muestra. La consistencia interna se evaluó mediante el alfa de Cronbach y la validez nomológica se analizó mediante las correlaciones de GTL con la autonomía del grupo y la calidad de la experiencia del grupo. Los resultados revelaron la presencia de una escala unidimensional com un buen nivel de consistencia interna. Los datos sobre la validez nomológica confirmaron las relaciones previstas, habiendo presentado la GTL correlaciones positivas con las variables consideradas. La version portuguesa de la GTL se presenta como una herramienta útil para evaluar el liderazgo transformacional. |
