Validation of the Team Factors Inventory in brazilian companies
Main Article Content
Abstract
The aim of the paper was to test the validity and reliability of a Portuguese version of the Team Factors Inventory/TFI. This inventory measures the propensity of a team towards creative leadership and consists of a paper and pen measure with 37 items in a Likert-type scale. The method involved review of literature on creative leadership, backtranslation of the inventory, and data analysis through descriptive statistics, hypotheses testing, factor analysis, analysis of variance, using as control variables, sex, and type of enterprise. The sample consisted of 114 respondents, being 73 owner-managers of high-tech incubated firms and 41 owner-managers of service firms. Analyses indicated that the translated version into Portuguese of the inventory reached satisfactory levels of validity and reliability. This means that TFI may be applied in a cultural context different from its origin.
