“…Organizations should enhance servant leadership through a supportive culture and by developing the perspective-taking competence across the organization. This may enable principals to replenish their self-controlling resources (Liao et al, 2021), predict their readiness to deal with crisis (Al-Asfour et al, 2022) and increase organizational performance by returning on investments (Peterson et al, 2012). We suggest utilizing these study findings when developing educational leadership, the work and competence of principals or developing organizational behavior in other complex systems.…”

“…In education, servant leadership has mainly been investigated in association with teachers' empowerment (Van der Hoven et al, 2021), teachers' job satisfaction (Cerit, 2009) and with higher education leaders' readiness in the COVID-19 pandemic (Al-Asfour et al, 2022). Servant leadership is explored extensively in other industries, and it has shown to be positively related with overall job crafting (Khan et al, 2021), organizational citizenship behavior (Walumbwa et al, 2010), innovative work behavior (Khan et al, 2021;Panaccio et al, 2015b), employees' well-being (Harju et al, 2018;Kaltiainen and Hakanen, 2022), life satisfaction (Upadyaya et al, 2016), lower levels of job stress (Jaramillo et al, 2009) and leader effectiveness (Zhang et al, 2021).…”

PurposeThe purpose of this study was to explore school principals’ job crafting profiles during the prolonged COVID-19 crisis in 2021, and investigate profile differences regarding principals’ own perceived servant leadership, stress and work meaningfulness.Design/methodology/approachUsing latent profile analysis (LPA), two job crafting profiles were identified: (1) active crafters (55%) and (2) average crafters (45%). By auxiliary measurement-error-weighted-method (BCH), we examined whether and how job crafting profiles differed in terms of servant leadership, stress and work meaningfulness.FindingsActive crafters reported higher than the overall mean level of approach-oriented job crafting (increasing job resources and demands), whereas average crafters reported an overall mean level of approach-oriented job crafting. Avoidance-oriented job crafting by decreasing hindering job demands did not differentiate the two profiles. Active crafters reported significantly higher servant leadership behavior, stress and work meaningfulness than average crafters.Originality/valueStudy findings provide new knowledge and reflect the implications that the unprecedented pandemic had for education. This study contributes to the existing literature within the scholarship of job crafting through empirical research during the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic. For practitioners, these study findings reflect contextual constraints, organizational processes and culture, and leadership in workplaces.

“…For long-term organizational goals, leaders take care of followers' well-being, empower and train followers to become future leaders (Khan, Mubarik, Ahmed, Islam, & Khan, 2022). Additionally, servant leaders have wisdom and a vision for goal setting, effective support and leading followers (Al-Asfour, Charkasova, Rajasekar, & Kentiba, 2022). Behaving ethically, servant leaders might be open, fair and honest with followers (Sendjaya et al, 2020).…”

PurposeThis study applies the target similarity model to examine the effects of servant leadership on supervisor commitment and supervisor citizenship behavior. The mediating role of supervisory commitment is explored to determine the relationship between servant leadership and supervisor citizenship behavior. The difference in supervisor gender is examined in the linkage between servant leadership and supervisory commitment.Design/methodology/approachThe data were collected through a survey of 478 salespeople in the retail industry. Structural equation modeling (SEM) techniques were used to verify the hypotheses of this study.FindingsThe findings showed significant support for the direct and indirect effects of servant leadership on supervisor commitment and supervisor citizenship behavior. Furthermore, the positive relationship between servant leadership and supervisory commitment was stronger among female supervisors than male supervisors.Originality/valueDue to the scarcity of studies conducted on the linkages of servant leadership, supervisory commitment and supervisory citizenship behavior, this study theoretically and empirically contributes to the leadership literature as it is the first study to investigate these direct and indirect relationships. Similarly, this study examined gender differences in servant leadership to fill the gap in the research field.
