Стили взаимодействия руководителя с сотрудником и их диагностика: адаптация нового инструмента
Although the problem of leadership styles in organizational psychology is quite popular, and relationships with the manager are important for employee motivation, in Russian-language psychodiagnostics there are no valid and reliable psychometric tools for assessing the behavioral styles of managers that can predict the motivation and well-being of employees. The aim of the work is to create a Russian-language questionnaire which describes three styles of interaction between the manager and the employee, which assesses one motivating style - Supportive and two demotivating - Frustrating and Indifferent - styles of interaction of the manager (Huyghebaert-Zouaghi et al., 2023). Using a sample of employees of Russian organizations (N = 267, 62% women), it was shown that the adapted questionnaire has acceptable indicators of validity and reliability. To test the convergent validity of the questionnaire, a battery of methods was used, including questionnaires of work motivation, basic psychological needs, persistence, job satisfaction, and work format. The results of the study showed that, firstly, the scales of the technique demonstrate satisfactory indicators of internal consistency (Cronbach's α not lower than 0.78), which confirms its reliability; secondly, the results of CFA show that it reproduces the three-factor structure of the original questionnaire, which indicates its factorial validity; thirdly, direct and inverse relationships of leadership styles with intrinsic and different types of extrinsic work motivation, basic psychological needs, persistence, and satisfaction with management and work speak for the construct validity of the questionnaire. It is shown that a supportive leadership style is a predictor of autonomous motivation, satisfaction of basic psychological needs, as well as persistence and satisfaction with management. In contrast, frustrating and indifferent styles are predictors of controlled work motivation and low satisfaction with management. The questionnaire can be used by both researchers and practitioners in the field of HR to assess leadership styles and predict the quality of work motivation and well-being of employees.
