The current fixation on the theoretical side of servant leadership necessitates an empirical study to
develop and validate a measurement scale of servant leadership since any theoretical progress is
made possible only by adequate measurement instrument. This working paper chronicles the steps,
methods, and results of quantitative and qualitative studies which were conducted to build a
measurement scale of servant leadership. The stages of scale development which have been
undertaken, and are reported in this paper, are domain and item generation, content expert
validation, and pilot test. Although the emphasis of the paper is on the content/face validity and
internal consistency of the scores on servant leadership scale, some preliminary results on its
construct validity are presented. Future research directions are discussed to ensure that the
psychometric properties of the scores of the scale are theoretically sound and empirically solid.
