Abstract/Summary

This study is about the development, validation, and norming of a Servant-Leadership Inventory (SLI), to assess the servant-leadership practices of school leaders and their manifestations of the servant-leadership traits. It aims to find out the core factors which can measure servant-leadership in the school setting, and to establish the validity, reliability, and the norms of the instrument. The respondents of the study were 772 school leaders. Eleven (11) servant-leadership traits based on the theory of Robert Greenleaf were used as the hypothesized factors of the servant-leadership construct, namely: servant-first, listening, empathy, stewardship, commitment to growth of people, healing, foresight, conceptualization, awareness, persuasion, and community-building. The items were formulated based on the literature and a Delphi survey. The item review made by a panel of experts, established the content validity of the 247 accepted items out of the 300 initial item pool.The items were analyzed using item total correlation. Those items which did not reach the set criterion were eliminated. In the factor analysis, most of the items did not load under the factors that they were originally categorized.
