Abstract

The main purpose of this study was to validate Leadership Worldview scale for Public Schools principals. This scale is a short form of Leadership Worldview scale (Torkzadeh and Jafari, 2012) and consists of 30 items with a Likert spectrum which is developed in accordance with the Wexler Leadership Worldview framework (2006), and includes four subscales: entrepreneurial, network, social and regulatory Leadership Worldview. Furthermore, each of these four types of Leadership Worldviews has dimensions including the type of rationality, creativity, patterns of time, change, ethics and Leadership style. The statistical population included all primary and secondary school teachers in Shiraz which 369 people were selected by random-stratified sampling method and Cochran’ s formula. In order to measure the validity of the questionnaire, two methods of cluster analysis and the first order and second order confirmatory factor analysis were used and Cronbach's alpha method was used to measure its reliability. The results of the item analysis indicated that each subscale had a significant correlation with the type of Leadership Worldview. The result of the first and second order confirmatory factor showed that each subscale had a high degree of validity for explaining the type of Leadership Worldview. Also, based on the Cronbach's alpha, the reliability of the scale and the corresponding subscales is desirable. Overall, results approved the applicability of the present scale in the subject area.
