Adaptation and validation of the Polish version of the team boosting behaviors scale

Summary/Abstract: Purpose– The article aims to present the results of adapting the team boosting behaviors (TBB) scale toPolish cultural conditions and validating it.Design/methodology/approach– The research methodology consisted of three steps. In the first step,I translated the TBB scale into Polish using a rigorous back-translation method. Next, to assess contentvalidity, nine domain experts reviewed the initial version of the instrument for clarity and relevance. Finally,I applied the scale to a sample of 532 team members and underwent thorough psychometric testing to assessconstruct validity. I employed structural equation modeling (SEM) with the partial least squares (PLS) factor-based algorithm technique for confirmatory factor analysis to assess the scale’s reliability and validity.Findings– After development, the Polish version of the TBB scale kept its three sub-scale structures.However, the validation process led to a slight reduction in the number of test items compared to theoriginal scale.Research limitations/implications– The findings imply that the Polish version of the scale is a valid andreliable tool for assessing TBB. However, I recommend additional studies to confirm this instrument’sstructure.Originality/value– The results confirmed the reliability and relevance of the tool for measuring TBBs inPolish cultural conditions. The tool provides the basis for implementing further research with the TBBconstruct in Poland and internationally.
