Psychometric Adequacy of the Persian Version of the Performance Management Behavior Questionnaire in Universities

Performance management questionnaire, Validity, Reliability, Psychometric

Introduction: Despite interest in improving performance management in universities,
few studies have examined this topic. Because of the absence of validated tools in Iran for
assessing behavior performance management, this study was conducted to validate the
behavior performance management scale.
Objective: This study aimed to assess the psychometric adequacy of the Performance
Management Behavior Questionnaire (PMBQ) for the heads of university departments in Iran.
Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in four phases. The first
and second phases included PMBQ translation and its modification in accordance with
the educational setting. The third phase consisted of the content and face validation, and
the fourth phase aimed to evaluate the construct validity and reliability of this scale. All
400 faculty members (200 for exploratory factor analysis and 200 for confirmatory factor
analysis) were studied. After translation, the 27-item PMBQ was evaluated for validity and
reliability. Content Validity Ratio (CVR) and Content Validity Index (CVI) were computed for
content validity. For construct validation, the exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory
factor analysis were used. The PMBQ reliability was assessed by the Cronbach α coefficient.
Results: Considering eigenvalues above one, five factors were identified that jointly explained
58.22% of the variance observed. Based on the arrangement of the factors, they labeled as
monitoring performance management (9 items), coaching (6 items), goal setting (6 items),
communication (3 items), and providing consequence (2 items). Results showed that the
Average Variance Extracted (AVE) varied between 0.51 and 0.60; composite reliability was
between 0.7 and 0.81, and the Cronbach α coefficient was between 0.70 and 0.82.
Conclusion: PMBQ as a valid and reliable tool can be used for assessing the behavior of the
heads of departments from the viewpoints of faculty members.
