AbstractThe 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.

How and When Do Leaders Influence Employees’ Well-Being? Moderated Mediation Models for Job Demands and Resources

“…We measured TFL, based on the full range leadership model (Bass, 1985), using the German version of the Human System Audit Short-Scale of TFL shown to be unidimensional (Berger and Antonioli, 2019), since it is shorter than the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire MLQ-5X-Short (Avolio and Bass, 2004) and an easy to apply instrument (Berger et al, 2011). The scale consists of eight items (e.g., "My leader promotes the use of intelligence a means of overcoming obstacles") that measure TFL using a five-point Likert scale (from 1 = strongly disagree to 5 = strongly agree).…”

The Indirect Role of Passive-Avoidant and Transformational Leadership through Job and Team Level Stressors on Workplace Cyberbullying

“…Transformational leadership was measured using the eight-item Spanish [ 80 ] and German version [ 81 ] of the Human System Audit–TFL short-scale (HSA–TFL–ES and HSA–TFL–DE), developed by Berger et al [ 80 ] and as part of the Human System Audit framework for human resources quality assessment [ 82 ]. An example item of the HSA–TFL–ES (HSA–TFL–DE, respectively) is “I have trust in my supervisor’s ability to overcome any obstacle”.…”
