Validation of a Measure of Non-Commissioned Officer Leadership

Abstract

The results of this study provide psychometric evidence in support of the NCOLS. In accordance with our expectations, the results also show that NCO leadership is an important predictor of a variety of soldier readiness, health and well-being outcomes. The scale provided incremental validity in predicting these outcomes even when combat stressors were statistically controlled. Of the three facets of leadership represented in the scale, supportive leadership was the strongest predictor of physical and psychological health, well-being, and readiness.
