Leader's vision articulation is recognized as a vital part of successful leadership. Despite that the sound measurement of vision articulation has been widely neglected by scholars so far. Therefore, we developed and validated a 22‐item instrument to comprehensively measure leader's vision articulation in two studies (overall N = 496). Theoretically derived dimensions are: Comprehensibility, Empowerment, Self‐worth, Salience and Continuity of Collective Values, Relation to and Change of Intermediate Goals, Promotion and Prevention Focus, and Personalization. CFA supported a revised seven‐factor model with a combined Values‐ and Goals‐factor and no Prevention Focus‐factor across the two studies. Correlations with leadership styles (i.e., transformational and identity leadership) suggest construct validity. Correlations and partial correlations with employee outcomes (i.e., affective commitment, occupational self‐efficacy, innovative work behavior, job satisfaction, satisfaction with the leader, and team identification) suggest criterion validity. Regression analyses including transformational leadership and the vision articulation subscales further provide evidence for incremental criterion validity.

如何捕捉领导者的视觉表达？视觉表达问卷调查表（VAQ）的开发和验证

领导者的愿景表达被认为是成功领导的重要组成部分。尽管到目前为止，视觉清晰度的声音测量已被学者广泛忽略。因此，我们在两项研究中开发并验证了22个项目的工具，以全面衡量领导者的视觉清晰度（总体N = 496）。从理论上得出的维度是：可理解性，赋权，自我价值，集体价值的显着性和连续性，与中间目标的关系和变化，促进和预防的重点以及个性化。CFA支持修订后的七因素模型，该模型结合了价值和目标因素，而两项研究均没有预防重点因素。与领导风格（即，变革型领导和身份领导）的相关性暗示了结构的有效性。与员工结果的相关性和部分相关性（即情感投入，职业自我效能感，创新工作行为，工作满意度，对领导者的满意度以及团队认同感）表明标准的有效性。
