The Influence of Servant Leadership on Internal Career Success: An Examination of Psychological Climates and Career Progression Expectations

Servant leadership's positive effects on employee attitudes and motivations are well-documented. However, it remains unclear how and whether the employee beneficiaries of servant leadership choose to remain and thrive with their current employer. Would employees remain with employers and advance within their organizations after exposure to servant leadership, or is it possible that the advantages gained make them more inclined to explore better opportunities elsewhere? We examine this question from a social learning perspective by investigating the process through which an employee's experience of servant leadership behaviors influences their voluntary turnover and promotion attainment. We propose a serially mediated model in which an employee's perception of servant leadership increases promotion attainment while reducing voluntary turnover via perceptions of two psychological climates (caring and instrumental) and subsequent changes in employee career progression expectations. These predictions were tested in a 4-wave field study in which objective measures of turnover and employee promotions were tracked throughout a 12-month period. The results reveal support for the hypothesized serial mediation model. We discuss the theoretical and practical implications of this research and outline directions for future research.

Then job engagement hurts affective commitment and organizational citizenship behavior. Job engagement acts as a mediator between servant leadership and organizational citizenship behavior. This finding is in line with the performance achievements of the agriculture, forestry, and fisheries sectors which show an increase in their respective contributions to the regional economy in 2018 from IDR 2,103 billion to IDR 2,435 billion in 2022. Theoretically, government organizations in implementing job engagement are so weak that they are unable to create affective commitment and organizational citizenship behavior. Based on these findings, it is necessary to strengthen the implementation of job engagement, and to prove this model, it is necessary to carry out further analysis on a wider scale and with a diversity of sample characteristics. The practical implication is that increasing the achievements of this sector in the future can be done by maximizing job engagement, affective commitment, organizational citizenship behavior, and servant leadership.

Servant Leadership in the Healthcare Literature: A Systematic Review.

Servant leadership has received a growing consideration among scholars and practitioners as a viable leadership model capable of bringing positive changes in the increasingly complex healthcare system. The increasing servant leadership literature in healthcare requires an integrated research work that provides a holistic picture of the existing studies. This systematic review aims to synthesize servant leadership conceptualizations, theoretical frameworks, measurement tools, and nomological networks (antecedents, mediators, outcomes, and moderators) associated with prior research in healthcare. A systematic synthesis of 55 pertinent healthcare-specific conceptual and empirical studies demonstrated that servant leadership assumes a crucial role in developing a committed workforce that contributes towards the achievement of performance excellence in healthcare. The review uncovers that the Global Servant Leadership Scale is the most utilized measure of servant leadership in sector-specific studies in healthcare.
