Abstract

This research presents the building and the validity process of an instrument designed to measure university authorities’ management from an approach based on skills. Psychometric properties and the dimensionality of the Executive Management Evaluation Scale (EMES) related to its design process, elaboration and application are presented.
By means of the expert judge technique, an analysis of the validity of contents is
indicated, as well as a factorial analysis in order to assess the validity of the construct, considering a reliability index.
Results show that the scale has accurate psychometric features, which are relevant
to the examined construct, turning this instrument into a useful tool for the processes of assessment and university accreditation.
