Year: 2016
Type: article
Abstract: Various and sometimes divergent threads in the leadership literature emphasize the importance of leaders focusing on followers and goals, and having a sense of purpose and meaning in leadership.In order to facilitate further study around these themes, the researcher has developed and initially tested (N = 354) the Purpose in Leadership Inventory (PLI).A 24-item inventory provided the strongest overall set of factors, explained 70.01% of the variance in the factor analysis, and had Cronbach alphas of (a) .97,(b) .92,and (c) .90 for the three scales.An overview of the instrument's development and analysis is provided.
