Resumen

El objetivo del presente estudio fue validar una versión abreviada de la escala Perfil de Liderazgo de Servicio (Servant Leadership Profile o SLP). En el Estudio 1, diversos expertos evaluaron y redujeron la escala original a 14 ítems, y la denominaron Escala de Liderazgo de Servicio — Versión Abreviada (ELSVA). El análisis factorial exploratorio realizado con una muestra de 1001 estudiantes reveló dos modelos estructurales posibles, una estructura unifactorial y una estructura de dos factores correlacionados. En el Estudio 2 se utilizó una muestra diferente de 456 estudiantes para analizar dichas estructuras a través de un análisis factorial confirmatorio, por el que se propuso una solución unifactorial (χ2/gl = 3.4, CFI = .91, TLI = .90, RMSEA = .07, SRMR = .06). Por último, en el Estudio 3, incluimos el liderazgo de servicio como predictor de la autoeficacia (b = .685, p < .001) y demostramos su validez predictiva. Este modelo explica el 41.55% de la varianza en autoeficacia. Los análisis de fiabilidad de los tres estudios demostraron que la versión española de 14 ítems tiene una consistencia interna elevada. En conjunto, los resultados de los tres estudios apoyan el uso de la ELSVA en futuras investigaciones.
