This paper examines the construct validity of the spiritual leadership model proposed by (Fry et al. 2005). The analysis focused on examining the relationships proposed by the model through CFA and structural equation modeling (SEM). A confirmatory factor analysis indicated the SL scale provides acceptable reliability and convergent validity indexes; however, it did not achieve discriminant validity. Model convergence was obtained using MLR (Robust Maximum Likelihood) methods. However, when the robustness indices were analyzed, it was found that some obtained acceptable results and others were deficient, so that an acceptable model fit was not achieved. Regarding the relationship between the hypotheses, it was found that they were significant in all cases except for the reciprocal relationship between vision and altruistic love. In light of this finding, alternative models were developed that also failed to yield significant results. The theoretical and methodological discussion focuses on the relationships of Fry's model and addresses the need to review its causal nature, considering recursive and non-recursive aspects.
本文考察了（Fry 等人，2005 年）提出的精神领导力模型的建构效度。该分析侧重于通过 CFA 和结构方程建模（SEM）检验模型所提出的关系。验证性因子分析表明，SL 量表提供了可接受的可靠性和收敛有效性指标；然而，它并未达到区分效度。使用 MLR（稳健最大似然）方法获得了模型收敛。然而，当分析稳健性指标时，发现有些结果是可接受的，而有些则存在不足，因此没有达到可接受的模型拟合度。关于假设之间的关系，除了愿景和利他主义之间的互惠关系外，在所有情况下它们都是显著的。鉴于这一发现，还开发了替代模型，但也没有产生显著的结果。理论和方法学讨论侧重于 Fry 模型的关系，并解决了需要审查其因果性质的问题，同时考虑递归和非递归方面。
