Resumen

En este estudio se describe el concepto de liderazgo auténtico y la validación de un cuestionario para medirlo en una muestra de más de 600 empleados españoles. Este cuestionario mide cuatro componentes diferentes, aunque relacionados entre sí, del concepto más amplio de liderazgo auténtico. Estos componentes son conciencia de sí mismo, transparencia en las relaciones, procesamiento equilibrado y moral internalizada. Los resultados obtenidos a través del modelado de ecuaciones estructurales confi rmaron que la versión española del cuestionario presenta una alta fi abilidad y validez concurrente para una serie de variables asociadas al liderazgo como son la efectividad percibida del líder, el esfuerzo extra de los seguidores y la satisfacción con el líder.
