To avoid a Type I error, a power analysis tested whether the correlation coefficient
between the two main variables being measured in the sample population differed from a
hypothesized value of zero. The analysis was completed for the correlation (r = .57) between the overall CWEQ II and ESLB scores with the alpha level of .05. The sample size of 116 resulted in a power of 100%, (using Howell, 2013) suggesting the sample size was more than adequate tosupport the correlation found. The correlation of .57 represent the relationship between the overall scores calculated
from data gathered by each instrument; ESLB (measuring servant leadership behaviors) and
CWEQ II (measuring perceived empowerment). Positive correlations were also found between
the overall servant leadership behaviors of an immediate supervisor and each subscale of the follower’s perceived empowerment. The correlation of each subscale with servant leadership behaviors are represented in Table 1 below.
