Objectives:
to adapt and validate the Leader Empowering Behavior scale for Brazilian Portuguese in a sample of Brazilian nurses.
Methods:
cross-sectional study through translation, back-translation, expert evaluation, application and analysis of content, criteria and construct of the scale.
Results:
the title of the final version was Comportamento Empoderador do Líder. The equivalence evaluation presented Content Validity Index of 89% among the 27 items of the original scale and was applied to 272 nurses. For the construct validation, psychometric analyzes were performed; through calculations of the measure of sampling adequacy, were excluded six items from the translated instrument; and in the factor analysis, four factors were retained. The Cronbach's alpha was calculated for the four domains and ranged from 0.82 to 0.87, demonstrating the scale reliability.
Conclusions:
the adapted version presented validity and reliability criteria for use in Brazil. Its use will make it possible to know the behavior of leaders to empower their team.
