Abstract

The notion of service leadership has been proposed to capture the ideal leadership model in service economies. However, there has been a lack of scientific measures that can operationalize the service leadership model. We thus developed a knowledge scale to capture the essential knowledge points of service leadership model in a format of multiple-choice question. The current study reported the development and content validation of this Service Leadership Knowledge Scale by four experts. The results showed that the majority of the items were rated as relevant to, clear, and representative of service leadership model. The development of this knowledge scale helps further construct a theoretical model of service leadership.
