Abstract

Background: Effective leadership and management practices contribute to responsible, high-quality research and the well-being of team members. We describe the development and initial validation of a measure assessing principal investigators' leadership and management practices and a measure of research team practices.

Methods: Using a cross-sectional survey design, 570 postdoctoral researchers funded by the National Institutes of Health reported on the perceived behaviors of their principal investigator (PI) and the research team. The PI leadership and management items factored into two dimensions: fostering relationships and directing research.

Results: Correlations of these new scales with existing, validated measures of ethical leadership and general leader behavior provided evidence of convergent validity. Providing evidence for criterion-related validity, scores on the new measures predicted lab climate for research ethics, self-reported productivity, and job satisfaction. Research team practices provided additional predictive value beyond leadership and management behaviors.

Conclusions: This study provides construct validity evidence for the new Leadership and Management in Science (LAMPS) Measure and the Research Team Practices (RTP) Measure. Qualitative responses to an open-ended item reinforced the importance of relationships and directive supervision for a positive environment. These measures can be useful tools for future research or may be useful for PIs seeking feedback about their practices.

研究实验室的领导、管理和团队实践：两种新测量方法的开发与验证。

背景：有效的领导力和管理实践有助于开展负责任的、高质量的研究，也有助于团队成员的健康成长。我们介绍了一项评估首席研究员领导力和管理实践的方法以及一项评估研究团队实践的方法的开发和初步验证：采用横断面调查设计，由美国国立卫生研究院资助的 570 名博士后研究人员报告了他们对其首席研究员（PI）和研究团队行为的感知。首席研究员领导力和管理项目分为两个维度：促进关系和指导研究：这些新量表与现有的、经过验证的道德领导力和一般领导者行为测量方法之间的相关性证明了它们之间的趋同效度。新量表的得分可以预测实验室的研究道德氛围、自我报告的工作效率和工作满意度，从而证明了标准相关有效性。除领导和管理行为外，研究团队实践还提供了额外的预测价值：本研究为新的科学领导与管理（LAMPS）测评和研究团队实践（RTP）测评提供了构造效度证据。对一个开放式项目的定性回答加强了人际关系和指导性监督对积极环境的重要性。这些测量方法可以成为未来研究的有用工具，也可能对寻求有关其实践反馈的首席研究员有用。

期刊介绍： Accountability in Research: Policies and Quality Assurance is devoted to the examination and critical analysis of systems for maximizing integrity in the conduct of research. It provides an interdisciplinary, international forum for the development of ethics, procedures, standards policies, and concepts to encourage the ethical conduct of research and to enhance the validity of research results. The journal welcomes views on advancing the integrity of research in the fields of general and multidisciplinary sciences, medicine, law, economics, statistics, management studies, public policy, politics, sociology, history, psychology, philosophy, ethics, and information science. All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor, and if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees.
