LEADS in a Caring Environment has been adopted as the primary leadership framework by the Canadian Health Leadership Network. This study developed and validated a 20-item behaviourally anchored rating scale to assess the twenty LEADS capabilities. Canadian healthcare employees and support staff (N = 156) were asked to rate their managers using the scale and also completed measures of transformational leadership, job-related affective well-being, and intent to stay for validation purposes. Exploratory factor analysis suggested that the scale was best represented by a single factor structure. A shorter five-item scale was also developed and tested based on factor loadings. Internal consistency of both tools was high (α ≥ 0.96) and results supported their criterion validity for predicting turnover intentions and job-related affective well-being and convergent validity with a measure of transformational leadership.
“关爱环境中的领导力”（LEADS）已被加拿大卫生领导力网络采纳为主要的领导力框架。本研究开发并验证了一个包含20个项目的行为锚定评级量表，以评估LEADS的20项能力。研究要求加拿大医疗保健员工和辅助人员（N = 156）使用该量表对他们的经理进行评分，并完成变革型领导力、工作相关情感幸福感以及留任意向的测量，用于验证目的。探索性因素分析表明，该量表最好由单因素结构来表示。还基于因素负荷开发并测试了一个较短的包含5个项目的量表。两种工具的内部一致性都很高（α≥0.96），结果支持了它们在预测离职意向和工作相关情感幸福感方面的标准效度，以及与变革型领导力测量的收敛效度。
