The purpose of the study was to adapt and evaluate the psychometric characteristics of the Polish language version of the Authentic Leadership Self-Assessment Questionnaire intended for use among Registered Nurses.
A cross-sectional study where the Authentic Leadership Self-Assessment Questionnaire was administered to a representative group of 3,299 Polish Registered Nurses was carried out between September and November 2017.
Linguistic-cultural adaptation of the ALSAQ was carried out according to the WHO guidelines. The following psychometric properties of the ALSAQ were evaluated: content validity (content validity index), theoretical relevance (exploratory and confirmative factor analysis), unidimensionality of subscales (principal component analysis), internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha), test-retest reliability and criterion validity.
The content validity analysis revealed a need to reduce the original ALSAQ version from 16-23 items. The factor structure of ALSAQ differed from the original version. A three-factor model was better fitted to the data than a four-factor model. The three distinguished subscales (moral processing, self-awareness, and relational transparency) were characterized by unidimensionality. ALSAQ has a good internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha 0.84) and test-retest analysis confirmed stability of the measurement for subscales and particular items. Moreover, the ALSAQ-P criterion validity with external variables, being of key importance for shaping the leadership skills (self-efficacy and universal moral foundations) was confirmed.
Authentic leadership skills in nursing practice are characterized by their individual specificity, which was indicated in the ALSAQ validation. The ALSAQ can be considered a reliable and valid tool for self-assessment of leadership skills in a group of nursing practitioners. The identified standards help measuring strengths and weaknesses of authentic leadership.
本研究旨在对波兰语版的真实领导力自我评估问卷（用于注册护士）进行改编和评估，以检验其心理测量学特征。
本研究为横断面研究，于 2017 年 9 月至 11 月期间对 3299 名波兰注册护士进行了真实领导力自我评估问卷的调查。
根据世界卫生组织的指导原则对 ALSAQ 进行了语言文化适应性改编。评估了 ALSAQ 的以下心理测量学特征：内容有效性（内容有效性指数）、理论相关性（探索性和验证性因子分析）、分量表的单一维度性（主成分分析）、内部一致性（克朗巴赫α系数）、重测信度和效标效度。
内容有效性分析表明，需要将原始的 ALSAQ 版本从 16-23 项减少。ALSAQ 的因子结构与原始版本不同。与四因子模型相比，三因子模型更适合数据。三个区分开来的分量表（道德处理、自我意识和关系透明度）具有单一维度性。ALSAQ 具有良好的内部一致性（克朗巴赫α系数为 0.84），且重测分析证实了分量表和特定项目测量的稳定性。此外，与外部变量（对塑造领导力技能至关重要的自我效能感和普遍道德基础）的 ALSAQ-P 效标效度也得到了证实。
护理实践中的真实领导力技能具有个体特异性，这在 ALSAQ 的验证中得到了体现。ALSAQ 可被视为评估护理从业者领导力技能的可靠有效工具。确定的标准有助于衡量真实领导力的优势和不足。
