Exploring and Developing Items Measuring Situational Leadership Ii (Slii)

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This research intended to develop a valid and reliable survey instrument to measure Situational Leadership Model II (SLM II) through Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), including the four quadrants, evidently describe the Situational Leadership aspects style which is; directing, coaching, supporting, and delegating.
 Methodology: A survey with an interval scale between 1 and 10. Using the extraction method of Principal Component with Varimax Rotation, the researcher performed the EFA procedure on construct elements using Amos 24.0. Bartletts’ Test of Sphericity and the sampling adequacy by (KMO) was performed also. Cronbach’s Alpha was applied to test the reliability of the retained items.
 Main Findings: The Bartletts’ Test of Sphericity is highly significant (sig. 000). Furthermore, the sampling adequacy by (KMO=0.889) is excellent. The four components have Cronbach’s alpha values with more than 0.7. Furthermore, Cronbach’s Alpha value for all 24 items also exceeded the threshold value of 0.7. The development scale and validation confirmed that the instrument is consistent and stable across samples.
 Applications of this study: This study was applied to the leading telecommunications companies in Jordan that are exclusively providing mobile phones and internet service. It Includes Orange, Zain, and Umniah. The study targeted all permanent middle managers of (JTS) who hold supervisory positions, heads of departments, directors of divisions, or directors who are supervising three or more subordinates.
 Novelty/Originality of this study: It adds a remarkable contribution to the measurement of the SLM II, mainly in the JTS context. The EFA outcomes formed a configuration that extracts four components of SLM II, which can be measured by 24 items established in this research, which reveals that the elements are applicable in this study.

Exploration and Development of Measurement Items of Innovation for New Technology Adoption among Small Farmers

“…This study has made changes to instruments that have been used in other studies. Some of the items have been changed to meet the needs of current research [30]. The result of Bartlett's Test of Sphericity, as shown in Table 2, was highly significant (sig.…”

Exploring and Developing Items Measuring Self-Directed Learning

“…This allows researchers to identify any concerns about the questionnaire ahead of time, such as bothersome concepts or poorly worded questions. During a pre-test, the researcher incorporated the opinions of experts and practitioners into the questions (Al-Khamaiseh et al, 2020). While calculating the factors, expert opinions are required to examine and determine strange items (Baistaman et al, 2020).…”

“…Moreover, the pilot study guarantees the member's level of understanding of the guidelines enclosed in the exploration tool, allows analysts to work on leading the investigation, and survive and reduce mistakes in the real examination (Tan, 2022). The purpose of a pilot research is to assess the questions' content and relevance to the test participant, as well as to measure the clarity and ease of understanding, as stated by Wen et al (2022) and Al-Khamaiseh et al (2020). According to Lakssoumi et al (2022), the poll design is improved and areas of the survey that need improvement are identified in the pilot test for the objective example.…”

“…This work used an interval scale with 13 elements in the instrument, ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 10 (strongly agree), to measure this construct (Al-Khamaiseh et al, 2020;Awang et al, 2023;Musa et al, 2023;Awang et al, 2018;Awang et al, 2016). Every component of Self-Directed Learning has been measured, and the descriptive statistics Table 1 displays the mean and standard deviation score for each component.…”

The Effectiveness of the Situational Leadership Style of PT. Fajar Makassar Television (Fajar TV)

“…In the science of leadership, many theories explain each leadership style, one of which is the situational leadership style (Al-Khamaiseh et al, 2020;Ghazzawi et al, 2017;Samsuri et al, 2020;Thompson & Vecchio, 2009). Situational leadership style is a leadership style theory developed by.…”
