Résumé
Background
Leadership is an important competency in healthcare, but few instruments assess leadership competencies across healthcare professions. AIM: To develop and evaluate the psychometric properties of the Healthcare Leadership Competency Questionnaire (HLCQ).
Methods
This methodological study comprised questionnaire development and psychometric validation. Items were developed through literature review, multidisciplinary expert review, and cognitive interviews. The validation sample was randomly divided into exploratory (60%) and confirmatory (40%) samples. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) informed item reduction, followed by confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Reliability and convergent and discriminant validity were assessed.
