The Servant Leadership Survey: Development and Validation of a Multidimensional Measure
Open accessAbstract
PURPOSE: The purpose of this paper is to describe the development and validation of a multi-dimensional instrument to measure servant leadership. DESIGN/METHODOLOGY/APPROACH: Based on an extensive literature review and expert judgment, 99 items were formulated. In three steps, using eight samples totaling 1571 persons from The Netherlands and the UK with a diverse occupational background, a combined exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis approach was used. This was followed by an analysis of the criterion-related validity. FINDINGS: The final result is an eight-dimensional measure of 30 items: the eight dimensions being: standing back, forgiveness, courage, empowerment, accountability, authenticity, humility, and stewardship. The internal consistency of the subscales is good. The results show that the Servant Leadership Survey (SLS) has convergent validity with other leadership measures, and also adds unique elements to the leadership field. Evidence for criterion-related validity came from studies relating the eight dimensions to well-being and performance. IMPLICATIONS: With this survey, a valid and reliable instrument to measure the essential elements of servant leadership has been introduced. ORIGINALITY/VALUE: The SLS is the first measure where the underlying factor structure was developed and confirmed across several field studies in two countries. It can be used in future studies to test the underlying premises of servant leadership theory. The SLS provides a clear picture of the key servant leadership qualities and shows where improvements can be made on the individual and organizational level; as such, it may also offer a valuable starting point for training and leadership development.

TL;DR
The paper develops and validates the Servant Leadership Survey (SLS), an eight-dimensional, 30-item measure of servant leadership. Across eight samples totaling 1,571 respondents in the Netherlands and the UK, the eight-factor structure was supported and the subscales showed good internal consistency and criterion-related validity with well-being and performance outcomes.
Key findings
- The final SLS consists of 30 items measuring eight dimensions: standing back, forgiveness, courage, empowerment, accountability, authenticity, humility, and stewardship.
- Confirmatory factor analyses supported the eight-factor model in Dutch samples (Study 3: χ² = 562.5, df = 377, CFI = .94, TLI = .93, SRMR = .05, RMSEA = .05) and a UK sample (Study 4: χ² = 1197.7, df = 377, CFI = .93, TLI = .92, SRMR = .07, RMSEA = .05).
- Internal consistency was good across the combined samples: Cronbach’s alphas were .89 for empowerment (7 items), .81 for accountability (3 items), .76 for standing back (3 items), .91 for humility (5 items), .82 for authenticity (4 items), .69 for courage (2 items), .72 for forgiveness (3 items), and .74 for stewardship (3 items).
- Criterion-related validity was shown through positive relations with well-being and performance; for example, correlations with organizational commitment ranged from .14 to .60, and self-assessed performance was related to five of the eight dimensions with significant correlations between .14 and .32.
Methods
- The instrument was developed in three phases using eight samples totaling 1,571 persons from the Netherlands and the UK with diverse occupational backgrounds.
- Item generation began with 99 items based on literature review and expert judgment; exploratory factor analysis reduced items, followed by confirmatory factor analysis and further refinement to the final 30-item, eight-factor measure.
- Validity analyses included second-order exploratory factor analysis comparing the SLS with other leadership measures, and criterion-related analyses relating the eight dimensions to vitality, engagement, job satisfaction, organizational commitment, extra-role behavior, self-assessed performance, and leadership clarity.
Limitations
- The paper states that the number of SLS items, especially in early studies, prevented inclusion of other leadership scales together with outcome measures; most studies relied on convenience sampling and web-based online surveys; sufficient multilevel data could not be obtained; and the data are cross-sectional, so firm causal conclusions about predictive validity cannot be drawn.
- The paper also states that future users should avoid changing item wording or response scales, or deleting items, because this may affect validity.
- Evident from the text: the extra-role behavior analysis used only 48 employees and 38 leaders, giving low power and preventing regression or multilevel analyses; several constructs were not measured in all samples, such as stewardship not being included in the engagement and job satisfaction studies.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-07, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-07 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Cited sources are checked with a language model’s help (gpt-6-sol).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
