Abstract: The main purpose of the study was to develop an empirical substantiated Subject Leader Servant Leadership Attributes (SLSLA) model pertaining critical servant leadership attributes among subject leaders in Malaysian secondary schools. Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) was applied to identify the underlying factors and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was employed to test the measurement models using Structural Equation Modelling. With a usable data of 606 and 814 respondents for EFA and CFA, respectively, the results suggested that the SLSLA model can be explained by five factors namely Self-Competence, Shares Leadership, Accountability, Teacher Capacity Building and Stewardship with normed chi-square = 3.631, GFI = .935, CFI = .958, TLI = .952 and RMSEA = .057. On the one hand, this coherent premier model had advanced useful insights for educational practitioners in designing development programs for subject leaders. While on the other, it had endowed servant leadership with new pertinence to middle management reality in schools.
