The purpose of this study was to validate the Korean version of the Ethical Leadership at Work questionnaire (K-ELW) that measures RNs' perceived ethical leadership of their nurse managers.
The strong validation process suggested by Benson (1998), including translation and cultural adaptation stage, structural stage, and external stage, was used. Participants were 241 RNs who reported their perceived ethical leadership using both the pre-version of K-ELW and a previously known Ethical Leadership Scale, and interactional justice of their managers, as well as their own demographics, organizational commitment and organizational citizenship behavior. Data analyses included descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation coefficients, reliability coefficients, exploratory factor analysis, and confirmatory factor analysis. SPSS 19.0 and Amos 18.0 versions were used.
A modified K-ELW was developed from construct validity evidence and included 31 items in 7 domains: People orientation, task responsibility fairness, relationship fairness, power sharing, concern for sustainability, ethical guidance, and integrity. Convergent validity, discriminant validity, and concurrent validity were supported according to the correlation coefficients of the 7 domains with other measures.
The results of this study provide preliminary evidence that the modified K-ELW can be adopted in Korean nursing organizations, and reliable and valid ethical leadership scores can be expected.
本研究旨在验证韩语版的《工作场所道德领导力问卷》（K-ELW），该问卷用于衡量注册护士（RN）对其护士长道德领导力的感知。
采用了本森（1998）提出的严格验证过程，包括翻译和文化适应阶段、结构阶段和外部阶段。研究对象为241名注册护士，他们使用K-ELW预版本和先前已知的道德领导力量表报告了他们感知到的道德领导力，以及其管理者的互动公正，还有他们自己的人口统计学特征、组织承诺和组织公民行为。数据分析包括描述性统计、皮尔逊相关系数、信度系数、探索性因素分析和验证性因素分析。使用了SPSS 19.0和Amos 18.0版本。
基于结构效度证据开发了一个修改后的K-ELW，它包括7个领域的31个项目：以人为本、任务责任公平性、关系公平性、权力分享、对可持续性的关注、道德指导和正直。根据7个领域与其他测量指标的相关系数，支持了收敛效度、区分效度和同时效度。
本研究结果提供了初步证据，表明修改后的K-ELW可在韩国护理组织中采用，并可预期获得可靠且有效的道德领导力得分。
