The rater version of the subscales demonstrated reliabilities (alpha values) ranging from 0.82 to 0.92 (Barbuto & Wheeler, 2006) and an alpha value of less than 0.80 in a South African context (Mahembe & Engelbrecht, 2013). Subscale inter-correlations (r) ranged
from 0.47 (for persuasive mapping and emotional healing) to 0.71 (for altruistic calling and emotional healing) for rater versions of the SLQ (Barbuto & Wheeler, 2006). The SLQ consists of a leader self-report version and an ‘other’ rater
version. However, both versions of the SLQ consist of the same questions, with only the frame of reference differing. The former is answered from the leader‘s perception of their own levels of exhibiting servant leadership and the latter
from the employee’s perception of their leader demonstrating certain servant leadership behaviours.
