Abstract

This paper examines the relationship between servant leadership, organizational citizenship behavior, and job satisfaction among school teachers. The first objective of the study is to explore the history, concept, and development of servant leadership, organizational citizenship behavior, and job satisfaction. The second objective is to determine previous related studies that reveal the relationship between these 3 theories towards teachers throughout the world. The third objective of the study is to focus on the relationship study between these 3 theories in the Malaysian education system. As a conclusion, this study will provide the researcher's views on why this study should be featured in the Malaysian education system.
