title: PRELIMINARY DEVELOPMENT OF A SCALE TO MEASURE LEADERSHIP POTENTIAL.
abstract: Based on the assumption that leadership can be developed and college students possess leadership potential before becoming adult leaders, a Leadership Potential Scale was developed for Korean college students. Factors of leadership were extracted and preliminary items were developed through a literature review and semi-structured interviews. The items were assessed by experts for face validity, and the 12 factors and 78 items of the Leadership Potential Scale were derived from a factor analysis of data from 305 college students. The results of a subsequent study (N = 320) indicate the scale is ready to be further validated in a known-groups design.
