BACKGROUND: Organizational capacity development is an important outcome of facultydevelopment programs, but there is a lack of an appropriate instrument for its evaluation.AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to develop a questionnaire to evaluate theorganizational capacity development for faculty development programs and to test its psychometrics.MATERIALS AND METHODS: The initial capacity development for faculty developmentquestionnaire (CDQ‑FD) of 26 items was developed based on a literature review and opinionof experts. Content validity ratio (CVR), content validity index (CVI), content validity index foritems (I‑CVI), and the content validity index for scales (S‑CVI) were computed for content validity.Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and exploratory factor analysis (EFA) were performed for constructvalidation.RESULTS: The score for CVR, CVI, I‑CVI, and S‑CVI was 0.71, 0.83, 0.87, and 0.90, respectively.EFA resulted in a three‑factor model with total variance extraction of 64%. Cronbach’s alpha andSpearman Brown coefficient were investigated for reliability assessment. The Cronbach’s alpha ofoverall scale was 0.8 and the test‑retest reliability of the overall scale was 0.78. The final CDQ‑FDcontained 21 items and three categories.CONCLUSIONS: The CDQ‑FD questionnaire appears to be a valid and reliable instrument for theevaluation of organizational capacity development for faculty development in the medical education.
