Introduction Hardy personality construct as proposed by Kobasa is defined by three dimensions: engagement, control, and challenge. It was Originally designed to assess Hardy personality (HPA) in work environment. HPA has been accepted and validated in different Latin American countries, nonetheless, in Mexico, its psychometric properties haven't been validated. Aim: To analyze psychometric properties of HPA in Mexican adults. Methodology: A non-randomized sample of 357 adults participated and reported being healthy. HPA was adapted to face ordinary life. Results: Confirmatory factor analysis allowed to estimate three models, the one that showed better adjustment of fit was the trifactorial (engagement, control, and challenge) with a second-order factor (hardy personality), internal consistency of HPA was acceptable and construct validity indicated positive correlations in HPA dimensions with life satisfaction, optimism, and general efficacy, and negative correlations with axiety and social disfunction. Conclusions: Results indicated that HPA has satisfactory psychometric properties and that can be used to assess hardy personality (engagement, control, and challenge) in Mexican adults.

Based on the theoretical model regarding Leader-Subordinate Relational Identity (LSRI) from the work of Tsai, Cheng, and Chou (2015), we developed the construction and measurement of LSRI scale. We also explore the relationships between leader’s LSRI and leadership behavior, subordinate’s LSRI and subordinate effectiveness to further verify the validity of the scale. There were four studies conducted in this research: Study 1, we used Critical Incident method to collect the contents of LSRI and creat the items of LSRI based on inductive approach. Study 2, employed the Proportion of Substantive Agreement method to verify the content validity of the scale. Study 3, based on the scale from Study 1 and Study 2, the Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) was conducted for leader sample to filter items and to test its internal consistency and reliability. Besides, Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was used with subordinate sample to verify the fitness index to ensure the discrimination among four constructs. Study 4, with the sample of 350 subordinates and 58 leaders, the effects of subordinate’s LSRI on subordinate’s effectiveness and leader’s LSRI on leader’s leadership behavior were examined to verify the relational validity of the scale. Lastly, the major findings, contributions, limits, and future directions of this research were also discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
