To measure servant leadership, we adapted and modified 14 items from Ehrhart (2004). The scale consisted of seven di- mensions: forming relationships with subordinates, empowering subordinates, helping subordinates grow and succeed, behaving ethically, having conceptual skills, putting subordinates first, and creating value for those outside of the organization. Sample items by dimension included: “My department manager spends the time to form quality relationships with department employees” (form- ing relationships with subordinates); “My department manager's decisions are influenced by department employees' input” (empowering subordinates); “My department manager makes the personal development of department employees a priority” (helping subordinates grow and succeed); “My department man- ager does what she or he promises to do” (behaving ethically); “My department manager balances concern for day-to-day details with projections for the future” (having conceptual skills); “My depart- ment manager makes me feel like I work with him/her, not for him/ her” (putting subordinates first); and “My department manager emphasizes the importance of giving back to the community” (creating value for those outside of the organization). The em- ployees were asked to assess the extent to which their supervisor's servant leadership style on a 5-point scale (1 1⁄4 strongly disagree; 5 1⁄4 strongly agree). Because our hypotheses were concerned with the supervisor's servant leadership style in a general perspective, the analyses were conducted with a servant leadership composite that combined the seven subscales (a 1⁄4 .936), which is consistent with empirical and theoretical studies
