Resumo(s)
Drawing upon previous theorizing and empirical research efforts supporting the
importance of role breadth self-efficacy (RBSE) as a key motivational antecedent
of proactive forms of behaviour at work, including individual innovation, this paper
reports the process of building and validating a Portuguese version of Parker’s RBSE
scale. Data from two studies with independent samples of employees (N ¼ 103,
N ¼ 148) pertaining to an information technology company, showed that this version
(RBSE-P) has, as expected, a unidimensional structure with a high level of factor
structure similarity in both samples, as well as appropriate levels of internal consis tency. Furthermore, evidence from the second sample (N ¼ 148) revealed that line with preliminary research, this construct shows validity to predict the distinctive
proactive behaviour of individual innovation, evaluated by the employee’s corre sponding direct supervisors. These results support the use of this scale for assessing
RBSE in Portuguese-speaking work settings and the meaningful role of this construct
for predicting this criterion, which is acknowledged as an important driver of orga nizational success and competitiveness.
