Structure of legitimacy of health care institutions Adaptation and psychometric properties Legitimacy Questionnaire (LQ)

Summary/Abstract: Purpose: The purpose of the empirical research presented here was to (a) identify the structure of institutional le- gitimization in health care, and (b) present the Polish version of the Legitimization Questionnaire (LQ) and its psychometric values, especially the accuracy and reliability of measurement. Method: In order to achieve the stated goal on the basis of data obtained from two independent measurements, factor analyses were conducted: exploratory (nEFA= 210 - 134 women and 76 men, MWIEK= 42.37 ) and confirmatory (nCFA= 298 - 184 women and 114 men, MWIEK= 37.02). Factor analyses were used to assess relevance. Multivariate reliability was also assessed using several coefficients: classical (Cronbach's α, Jöreskog's CR) and non-classical (Aranova's γ, intraclass correlation coefficient ρ2).Results: The adopted data analysis strategy revealed a three-factor structure of institutional legitimacy. The results of the analyses brought strong evidence indicating the satisfactory goodness of legitimacy measurement with the Polish version of the LQ tool. Reliability, as well as theoretical relevance, reached satisfactory ratings and were confirmed.Conclusions: The results indicate that the adapted LQ questionnaire is a psychologically valuable tool for operationalizing legitimacy in three dimensions: normative relatedness, duty to obey and institutional trust.
