AU - al-Hattami, Abdulghani Ali Dawod. AU - Muammar, Omar M. AB - This study reports on the exploration of psychometric properties of an Arabic version of leadership competencies’ inventory adapted from Schumacher (1990) study. The inventory includes 35 items with four subscales that measure the following competencies: leading self and others, effective communication, problem solving, and planning skills. Participants were 436 (279 males and 157 females) students from a higher education institution in Saudi Arabia. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses and Cronbach's alpha coefficients were used to provide evidence on the psychometric property of the scale and each subscale. The results showed that the four model factor analysis explained 42% of the total variance. Reliability analyses indicated that the overall Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was 0.94 and alpha for subscales ranged from 0.74 to 0.86. Implications and limitations were highlighted.
