Forms of collective leadership, such as distributed leadership, have become increasingly important. The need for measurement of the variables involved in the delegation processes represents a new challenge for organizations that want to ensure high-level working. The present study aimed to validate the Italian version of the distributed leadership agency (DLA). The study was carried out on 704 employees (doctors, nurses, clerks, staff workers, healthcare assistants, consultants, management) of an Italian public hospital, who were selected to complete a survey on organizational perceptions. Multiple confirmatory factor analyses (maximum likelihood) have been computed to explore the factorial structure of the DLA, along with associations with other work outcomes. Results about the Italian DLA confirmed the original trifactorial structure of the construct, suggested by Yukl (2002), through good fit indexes and reliability scores; moreover, consistent with the literature, DLA was strongly related to satisfaction, commitment, and trust. Results contribute to underline the robustness of the construct of DLA in different cultural sectors and provide a useful tool to be adopted in the Italian context.
诸如分布式领导等集体领导形式变得越来越重要。对授权过程中涉及的变量进行测量的需求，对那些希望确保高水平工作的组织来说是一项新挑战。本研究旨在验证分布式领导能动性（DLA）的意大利语版本。该研究对一家意大利公立医院的704名员工（医生、护士、办事员、工作人员、医疗助理、顾问、管理人员）进行，这些员工被挑选出来完成一项关于组织认知的调查。已计算多个验证性因素分析（最大似然法），以探究DLA的因子结构以及与其他工作成果的关联。关于意大利语DLA的结果通过良好的拟合指数和信度得分，证实了Yukl（2002年）提出的该结构最初的三因素结构；此外，与文献一致，DLA与满意度、承诺和信任密切相关。研究结果有助于强调DLA结构在不同文化领域的稳健性，并提供了一个可在意大利背景下采用的有用工具。
