Assessing the reliability and validity of a leadership climate survey

M.Com. (Human Resource Management) / This study is based on the need for developing an instrument that would be able to assess an engaging leadership climate in organisations. Research has shown that there is a link between leadership and organisational climate. Leaders are therefore responsible for creating a climate that facilitates the optimal engagement of employees. Prior to this study, there was no instrument available to assess to what extent such an engaging leadership climate exists. This study reports on the development of such an instrument within an organisation in the South African financial and banking sector: the Engaging Climate Survey (ECS). A non-random, purposive sampling procedure performed on the target population yielded a sample of n = 1 436 (a 100% response rate). Factor and reliability analyses on the completed questionnaire yielded a uni-dimensional construct with high internal consistency and reliability (α = .964).
