RESUMO

Resumo No contexto educativo têm emergido três modelos de liderança com crescente importância - ética, transformacional e moral - sendo o mais desenvolvido o modelo de liderança transformacional. Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar a estrutura interna dos questionários de liderança em contexto educativo e conhecer a validade de constructo das dimensões ética, moral e transformacional da liderança no contexto educativo português. Numa amostra de 204 professores foi possível verificar o comportamento dos três questionários na validade de constructo e na fiabilidade. As escalas de liderança (Questionário de Liderança Ética, Questionário de Liderança Transformacional e Questionário de Liderança Moral) apresentaram bons níveis de ajustamento à estrutura fatorial e valores de fiabilidade entre aceitável e excelente. Tendo em conta os resultados obtidos de carácter inovador em nível do estudo psicométrico das diferentes medidas no contexto educativo será relevante, futuramente, aferir a sua validade concorrente em diferentes amostras de professores.Abstract In the educational context, three models of leadership with increasing importance - ethics, transformational and moral - have emerged, being the most developed the model of transformational leadership. This study aimed to analyze the internal structure of leadership questionnaires in the educational context and to know the construct validity of the ethical, moral and transformational dimensions of leadership in the Portuguese educational context. In a sample of 204 teachers, it was possible to verify the behavior of the three questionnaires in the validity of the construct and in the reliability. Leadership scales (Ethical Leadership Questionnaire, Transformational Leadership Questionnaire and Moral Leadership Questionnaire) presented good levels of adjustment to the factor structure and reliability values between acceptable and excellent. Considering the results obtained of innovative character in the level of the psychometric study of the different measures in the educational context will be relevant, in the future, to assess their concurrent validity in different samples of teachers.
