Resumo(s)
This study aimed to contribute to the validation of psychological
empowerment, which is a combination of sense of control (intrapersonal
component), critical awareness of the sociopolitical environment
(interactional component), and community involvement (behavioral
component). Three scales of empowerment used to evaluate the 3
components were translated into Portuguese, adapted for the Portuguese
population, and applied in person, by phone and by e-mail. Participants
were enrolled in or had completed a program of recognition of prior
learning. We tested reflective and formative measurement models and the
results suggested that a reflective model fits the data better than a formative
one. Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed psychological empowerment as
a hierarchical third-order factor. Second-order factors correspond to the
intrapersonal, interactional, and behavioral empowerment components,
reflected in first-order factors: leadership competence, policy control, source
of power, nature of power, instruments of power, and participation
behaviors.
