Chestionarul Multifactorial de Leadership (MLQ), în versiunea sa cea mai recentă (Forma 5X) este un instrument complex, dezvoltat atât cu scopul de a oferi o dimensiune clară a componentelor transformaționale, tranzacționale si celor de tip pasiv/evitant ale leadershipului, cât si pentru a oferi un profil cât mai complet al performanțelor unui candidat si al potențialului său de leadership. MLQ este unul din instrumentele de leadership cel mai des folosite în cadrul cercetărilor de teren si de laborator, fiind un instrument adecvat si foarte util în activități de selecție, transfer, promovare, dezvoltare si consiliere individuală, de grup sau organizațională. Numeroase forme ale MLQ au fost folosite în peste 30 de țări în organizații industriale, spitale, instituții religioase, organizații militare, agenții guvernamentale, facultăți, scoli primare si gimnaziale. S-a demonstrat că MLQ este la fel de eficient, indiferent dacă leaderul este evaluat de superiori direcți, colegi, subordonați direcți sau colaboratori (inclusiv clienți). Un avantaj marcant al MLQ îl constituie faptul că poate fi administrat în forma 360°, pentru acest chestionar, existând forme paralele de auto-evaluare si de hetero-evaluare.
În România, adaptarea MLQ a început în anul 2005. Prezentul studiu este o pilotare a chestionarului în forma sa de auto-evaluare, pe un esantion pilot de 229 de participanți, cu funcții de conducere, plasați la nivel mediu si de top în corporații din Bucuresti. Sunt prezentate, comparativ cu aceleasi statistici raportate de autori pe esantioane din SUA, indicii statistici primari, caracteristicile de fidelitate ale scalelor, corelațiile interscale si analiza factorială a itemilor testului. Rezultatele acestei pilotări si cercetări preliminarii sunt încurajatoare, semnalând, în ciuda necesității clare de efort suplimentar dedicat adaptării finale a chestionarului în România, faptul că traducerea si adaptarea MLQ este până la acest moment un succes.
