This study aimed to clarify the validity of the short scale of transformational leadership used by the Human System Audit (short HSA-TFL). The need of today’s enterprises for combined assessment of transformational leadership and quality-related performance in wider contexts requires short instruments based on scientific research. Convergent, construct and criterion validity of the short HSA-TFL were analyzed. Comparison of the short HSA-TFL with the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ-5X) showed high convergent validity. Exploratory factor analysis with hospital workers in Spain (N=625) showed the single factor structure of the Spanish version of the HSA-TFL. Confirmatory factor analysis using three further samples of hospital workers (N= 776) from different European countries confirmed a single factor. As regards criterion validity, the results indicated that the short HSA-TFL is positively related in all four countries to subjective performance. In sum, the results provide empirical evidence for the validity of the short HSA-TFL scale.

The aims of this research are to analyze the psychometric properties of the Philippine (N = 308) and German (N = 200) version of the Human System Audit transformational leadership short-scale (HSA-TFL short-scale) and to identify whether transformational profiles are similar or different in both countries. In todays' globalized environment, the number of multinational organizations increases and trade relations between countries become straighter. This intensifies the companies' need for short leadership instruments that are scientifically designed, reliable and quick to apply. We analyzed factor structure, convergent and criterion validity, as well as transformational profiles for Germany and the Philippines, both important economies in their regional economic blocks that experienced a considerable growth of their bilateral relations. Results indicate that the HSA-TFL short-scale is a reliable instrument (Philippines: α = .90; Germany: α = .91) with a one-factor structure for the Philippine (RMSEA = .08, CFI = .88) and the Germany version (RMSEA = .06, CFI = .89) showing convergent validity for both countries. Criterion validity was different in both countries and sensible to the cultural context. The transformational profiles, using the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ-5X), showed differences for both countries. This research provides empirical evidence for the validity and usefulness of the HSA-TFL short-scale.

Objective: Due to the lack of electronic scale for screening elementary students based on Iranian culture, this study provides a short online version of the mental health scale-teacher report to increase accuracy and speed of screening and reduce costs of it.
Methods: The sample of the study was 22845 students (11545 female, 11300 male) of all provinces of Iran, who filled the long version of the Children's Psychological Health Scale (Akbari Zardkhaneh et al., 2018), including eighty items and eight subscales.
Results: Item analysis with eight criteria showed that almost all items have good features. Factor analysis suggested that an eight-component model with forty items could be considered as a final structure for the short version. Examination of the measurement invariance between the gender groups indicated a suitable fitness that showed this scale assesses the same construct in both gender groups. Internal consistency was sufficiently good and Cronbach's alpha coefficients for the whole scale was 0.97 and for subscales ranged between 0.75-0.93 and 0.80- 0.93, for female and male group respectively. Composite reliability coefficients ranged between 0.70 and 0.93 for girls and between 0.74 and 0.93 for boys. Measurement errors of the scale and subscales showed a suitable range. Standard path coefficients showed a suitable convergent validity of scale. Divergent validity of scale evaluated by average variance extracted and by HTMT method showed the necessary internal consistency and the construct validity within the scale.
Conclusion: This scale is eligible enough to screen primary school students in Iran; however, further evidence is needed.
