Servant leadership is measured by five aspects, namely humility, love, vision, empowerment and trust. The population in this study are all Early Childhood Education teachers in Jetis District, Bantul Regency, with a sample of 60 people. The sampling technique used in this study is cluster random sampling. The data collection method is servant leadership scale. Research data are analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) through the SmartPLS 3.2.8 program. Based on the results of data analysis, the aspects and indicators that made up the servant leadership variable were declared valid and reliable. The most dominant aspect that reflects servant leadership was trust with a loading factor value of 0.779 and the weakest aspect that reflects this variable was humility with a loading factor value of 0.568. It shows that all aspects and indicators are able to reflect and shape servant leadership variable. Thus, the measurement model can be accepted because the theory presented by the servant leadership variable is in accordance with the empirical data obtained from the subject.
