Comparing Single-Item and Multi-Item Trust Scales: Insights for Assessing Trust in Project LeadersTrustSingle-itemMeasurementScaleMulti-itemProject membersFunding: This research was funded by Instituto Politécnico de Setúbal. Institutional Review Board Statement: Ethical review and approval were waived for this study. Brazilian Comitê de Ética de Pesquisa (CEP), CNS/466/12, indicates ethical approval is not required for this type of study.The purpose of this research is to provide researchers and leaders with a reliable and up-to- date comparison between a single-item and a multi-item trust scale, enabling effective assessment of team members’ trust in their leaders. The aim of the study is to investigate whether a single-question scale is as reliable as a multi-item questionnaire in measuring trust. An additional goal is to provide researchers with insights and conditions for effectively using single or multiple measures to assess trust in leaders, considering factors like reliability and effectiveness. After conducting a compre- hensive literature review, data were collected from 101 project members in Brazil using a survey methodology. The respondents were asked to provide feedback regarding their leaders, specifically project managers, and factor analysis was then employed to test the single-item and multi-item measures of trust. The advantages and disadvantages of each approach are discussed. The findings of our study demonstrate that both single-item and multi-item scales of trust should be utilized to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the trust construct. Single-item questionnaires can reduce survey length, improve respondent friendliness, and increase participant willingness. On the other hand, multi-item questionnaires enable researchers to analyze latent variables that contribute to an overall variable, but they cannot isolate data for each of those constructs. The results show that both measures are reliable, providing researchers and professionals with insights into the benefits and drawbacks associated with each method. Consequently, this research equips researchers and project professionals with valuable information for selecting the appropriate measurement tool.MDPIIC-OnlineCastro, Marcela SoutoBahli, BouchaibFerreira, João J.
