OBJECTIVE: Adapting the Charismatic Leadership Socialized Scale for the Brazilian culture and evaluating the psychometric properties of the translated and adapted version. METHODS: The translated and adapted version of the scale was answered by 211 nursing staff professionals. The SPSS program was used to verify the principal components, the loading factors of each item on the subscales by the Principal Component Analysis and the Varimax rotation test, and the internal consistency of subscales by calculating Cronbach's alpha index. The means of groups on each scale were compared by the one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), verifying the significance of differences with Tukey's test. RESULTS: The scale showed consistent psychometric properties converging to a stable factor structure and a suitable reliability that was very close to the original study. CONCLUSION: The results support the psychometric properties of the scale, indicating its applicability for research in hospital settings nationwide.
