<p>The purpose of this research is to develop a Student Leadership Behavior Scale (SLBS) in leadership education based on experiencial learning in university, and to test its reliability and validity. The 54-items scale was constructed using items from previous research and data from preliminary survey, and was administered to 156 undergraduate students (Time 1). To assess the test-retest reliability, 110 subjects (Time 2) repeated the rating within a month interval. Exploratory and confirmatory factor-analysis revealed a six-factor model including the following factors: Modeling, Challenge, Goal Sharing, Goal Management, Task-Oriented Support, and People-Oriented Support. In addition, 30 items were selected for increasing the feasibility. The scale showed high internal consistency and test–retest reliability, and moderately correlated with the Team Work Scale.</p>
