Leadership it's a topic of interest in organizational research because the impact of the leaders and manager's behavior in their teams and the results. Thus, the 3D theory of Reddin (1983) suggests that the behavior of managers is related to behavioral styles related to task orientation and relationships. The purpose of this research was to identify whether the factorial configuration, reliability and validity of the Managerial Effectiveness Diagnosis (MED) (Reddin, 1983). For the we use a non-probabilistic random sample of 94’819 participants, all active managers’ companies in Latin America from 2010 to 2014; to identify if the test kept their psychometric values over time. Also we use a non-probabilistic sample of 726 participants to replicate the studies originally conducted by the author. All they were managers with at least one year in the position and one person in charge. Research shows that this remains a useful test without cultural bias that can be used in organizations for information about the behavior to indicate their basic style, management style and degree effectiveness in performing their chores.
