Thus, the focus of this research was to develop a measure of Virtual Leader Self-Efficacy (VLSE), which had not been examined in the past. Two studies were conducted. The first served to develop the scale based on well-tested guidelines. A unidimensional factor structure was identified, and high reliability was maintained with very few items. A parallel form and an additional VLSE Trust scale was developed as well. The second study served to validate the scales and confirm the previous factor structure. By developing a reliable and valid measure of virtual leader self-efficacy, this study provides a robust foundation for future research in this area. Practical implications, strengths, limitations, and future directions of the research are discussed.en-US© the author. This Item is protected by copyright and/or related rights.
