| Abstract: |
Design/methodology/approach - Develops and tests a multidimensional measure of servant leadership and examines the validity of the new scale within a multi-level framework. Drawing on the servant leadership literature, identifies nine servant leadership dimensions; outlines a number of hypotheses; tests these on two samples involving students and employees and supervisors. Findings - Outlines how support was found for seven servant leadership dimensions proving the constructs validity; puts forward how the ability of servant leadership at the individual level to explain community citizenship, in-house performance and organizational commitment distinguishes it both from transformational leadership and leader-member exchange theory; highlights how the servant leadership dimension 'behaving ethically' was highly related to role performance. Research limitations/implications - Cross sectional design; adopt a longitudinal study design; examine servant leadership in countries other than the US. Practical implications - Organizations should select those people interested in providing support and guidance to employees. Originality/value - Presents a multidimensional measure of servant leadership. |
