leadership, common good, validation, confirmatory factor analysisAbstract
The objective of this study is to adapt the scale of leadership for the common good in two ways: first, by theoretically reformulating some of the dimensions and, based on this, adequate the items used; second, by deepening the validation of the underlying measurement model through a confirmatory factor analysis. The 7-point Likert-type instrument was applied to a sample of 658 university students where 62.9% were men and 37.1% women, all of them with ages ranging from 18 to 26 years. After some adjustments, the result is an adaptation of the leadership for the common good measurement scale with ten dimensions that measure both the ideal and the real, and also presents good psychometric properties of reliability and validity.
