Validating of organizational leadership assessment in post-secondary education

Abstract

The present study validates the organizational leadership assessment (OLA) instrument. The OLA questionnaire has been widely used in Western countries, and it has also been used in non-western countries. We translated the OLA into Bengali and administered this to 570 post-secondary students. Specifically, it examines the feasibility of its use with Bengali Medium students in West Bengal, India. The Principal Component Analysis (PCA) retained a six-factor solution with a satisfactory psychometric reliable research instrument (OLA). The psychometric features of OLA supported its feasibility as a sound and reliable research instrument to measure students’ perception of teacher’s Servant-leadership behavior in the context of West Bengal.
