The third instrument (Appendix E) used in this study was a leadership behavior

 instrument which was composed of three parts: a motivation sources inventory, a

 semantic differential scale to measure volunteering attitudes, and a Likert scale inventory

 to assess respondents' desire about serving on a county board. The motivation sources

 inventory was developed by Barbuto and Scholl (1998) and measures the sources of

 motivation. The authors developed this inventory to predict behaviors of individuals and

 it was used in this context as a factor that contributes to members will to serve (or not to

 serve) on their county Farm Bureau boards.

 Because county board members are volunteers, a semantic differential was

 constructed to obtain participants' attitudes on volunteering. Vogt (1999) defines a

 semantic differential scale as "a question format in an interview or survey in which

 respondents are asked to locate their attitudes on a scale ranging between opposite

 positions on a particular issue" (p. 261). This scale is a combination of scaling

 procedures and controlled association that provides the subject with a concept, in this

 case volunteering, to be differentiated and a set of bipolar adjectival scales against which

 to do it. The participant is asked to indicate for each item, the direction of their

 association and its intensity on a seven-step scale (Osgood, Suci, & Tannenbaum, 1971.)

 Twelve adjective pairs were used in the semantic differential used in this scale.

 The third part of this instrument was a Likert scale, which measured participants'

desire about serving on their local county Farm Bureau boards. This part of the

researcher-developed instrument consisted of twelve statements which participants were

asked to rate from 1 (strongly disagree) to 7 (strongly agree).
