In addition, 80 students were selected, for the qualitative research phase, using the snowballing sampling method from middle and high schools in Seosan and their self-reports were collected.

Additionally, the mean of polytechnic high school students` servant leadership was higher than the general academic high school students`. 3. No difference of adolescents` servant leadership according to their sex, age, and home economic status was found in general, but there was a statistically significant difference by academic achievement, and type of high school curriculum. 4.
