Contemporary leadership theories and practices describe authentic leadership (AL) in relation to self-awareness, relational transparency, internalized moral perspective, and balance processing of information. The study examines the convergent and discriminant validity of the four dimensions of authentic leadership in the academic administration. A total of 438 academic and administrative staff at the International Islamic University Malaysia were asked to rate their authentic leadership behaviours. Findings from principal component analysis (PCA) revealed three dimensions (internalized moral perspective, self-awareness, and relational transparency) of authentic leadership instead of four dimensions proposed by Walumba, et al. (2008). The result also provides evidence that supports discriminant validity and none on convergent validity. Additionally, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was ...

The purpose of this study is to test if selfawareness, balanced processing of information, internalized moral perspective, and relational transparency are predictors of authentic leadership among administrative heads at International Islamic University IIUM. An authentic leader reflects the extent to which there is congruence between leader’s actions, intention, moral compasses, self-reflexivity, self-concept, self-development, altruistic actions, authenticity, psychological well-being, and internal regulation. This research is a case study, focusing on data collected from administrative staff at IIUM. The results of the regression indicated that the four predictors (self-awareness, balanced processing of information, internalized moral perspective, and relational transparency) explained authentic leadership. The tested model provides empirical evidence about the pattern of authentic leadership in higher education, thus co...
