Reliability and Validity Study of the Healthcare Workers’ Multidimensional Glocal Leadership Scale

Abstract

The concept of leadership is as old as history of humanity. Until today, different definitions have been made about the concept of leadership, but a common concept or definition could not be created because the researchers defined it from their own perspective. We can say that leadership is the act of an individual or a group by influencing and directing the behaviours and activities of people around to achieve common goals. As the presence of a good leader is important in every organization, it is also an indispensable concept in medical organizations where human health is essential. This is a descriptive study carried out to determine the levels of demonstrating glocal leadership behaviours of pre-hospital emergency healthcare professionals and national medical rescue team personnel, and to determine whether these personnel show different levels of glocal leadership according to some demographic features (age, gender, professional seniority, education level). Within this aim, “Healthcare Workers’ Multidimensional Glocal Leadership Scale” consisting of 29 items in 4 sub-dimensions and "Information Form" to determine the demographic characteristics of the study group were used as data collection tools. The scale form was delivered to the participants personally by the researchers, and the data was collected by face-to-face interviews. The participants were informed that participation was based on voluntariness and the answers given would be used only for scientific purposes. The participants were also informed that they could leave the study any time and made to sign the "Volunteer Participation Form". The study group consisted of pre-hospital emergency healthcare services, emergency call center healthcare personnel and 20th region UMKE personnel in Edirne province.
