Objective To translate the Ethical Leadership at Work Questionnaire (ELW) in nurses and to test its reliability and validity. Methods Based on Brislin's translation model, the Chinese version of ELW was developed through translation, back-translation, cultural adaptation, and pre-survey. A sample of 536 nurses from four tertiary grade-A hospitals in Zhengzhou was conveniently selected from January to March 2023 for a questionnaire survey to test the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of ELW. Results The Chinese version of ELW consisted of 37 items in 6 dimensions: human-centeredness, fairness and equity, power sharing and sustainable development, ethical guidance, honesty and trustworthiness, and clear responsibilities. Exploratory factor analysis extracted six common factors, with a cumulative variance contribution of 59.906%. Confirmatory factor analysis supported the hypothesis of the first-order six-factor model, and the evaluation indexes of model fitness reached statistical standard. The item level content validity index of the scale was 0.830~1.000, and the average scale level content validity index 0.959. It had a Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.958, a split-half reliability of 0.891, and a test-retest reliability of 0.957. Conclusion The Chinese version of ELW demonstrates good reliability and validity in assessing nurses'perceived ethical leadership within Chinese cultural context.
