Abstract
This study’s purpose was to validate the noncommissioned officer (NCO) and officer versions of the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research-Leadership Scale (WRAIR-LS). Study 1 assessed psychometric properties and convergent validity. The scale demonstrated adequate reliability and convergent validity with validated leadership scales, as well as significant correlations with measures of unit climate and mental health. Study 2 assessed predictive validity and bidirectional effects with other outcomes. WRAIR-LS predicted unit climate and depression, and organizational support predicted WRAIR-LS. Overall results suggest that while leaders shape unit climate and health of subordinates, unit climate may also shape the perception of leaders.
