Abstract

This study aimed to construct and standardize the Leadership Effectiveness Scale for Academic Leaders in Universities (LESALU). The purpose of the scale is to measure the leadership effectiveness of academic leaders (deans, directors/chairpersons of centres, and heads of departments) on their day-to-day activities based on four dimensions; interpersonal relations, communication skills, emotional stability, and moral strength. A descriptive survey method was employed. The study constructed a scale with 70 items, 38 positive and 32 negative statements. The scale’s reliability was estimated by the split-half method which was found to be 0.86, the Explanatory Factor Analysis (EFA) was conducted; the Keiser Meyer Olkin (KMO) measure of sampling adequacy was found to be 0.741 and validity was assured through content validity. The Leadership Effectiveness Scale for Academic Leaders in Universities is a valuable tool and its application will lead to good performance for the academic leaders and the university.
