Confirmatory and Exploratory Factor Analysis for Validating the Academic Leadership Questionnaire for Indonesia's Private Higher Education

Abstract

The aim of this research is to analyse the validated Academic Leadership Questionnaire for Indonesia's Private Higher Education. In this study, data analysis using the SmartPLS 4.0.9.6 approach is CB-SEM. This study is intended to confirm and explore the results of previous research from Vilkinas et al. (2009) entitled Predictors of Leadership Effectiveness for Chinese Managers to be implemented in Indonesia’s Private Higher Education. Based on the results, the GFI was obtained at 0.967, the CFI value of 0.877 was smaller than supposed criteria of (>0.90) or slightly less than the good fit values, but still said to be appropriate, the RMSEA value was obtained at 0.064 in accordance with provisions that were ideally smaller than 0.08 (<0.08). Through the results from CFI, this study shows acceptable model fits and suggests the feasibility of applying the Academic Leadership Questionnaire for Indonesia's Private Higher Education with relatively good construct validity and internal consistency.
