Globally, the COVID-19 pandemic has brought significant implications to the workplace and highly impacted employee performance in every organization. In contemporary research, the scholars agree that leadership is one of the critical antecedents to predict employee performance in organizations. However, research is needed to investigate the mediating role of integral factors such as benevolence values (BV) and self-efficacy (SE) in predicting employee performance in the workplace. This study aimed to investigate the impact of key antecedents on employee performance in the banking industry. The findings reveal that the key antecedents, e.g., servant leadership (SL), self-efficacy (SE), and benevolence values (BV), have a direct positive relationship with employee performance (EP). Moreover, multiple indirect paths were tested, including serial mediation. This study used a quantitative methodology based on the positivist paradigm. A sample of 560 employees was randomly chosen. A survey questionnaire was distributed among them, and 400 were returned with a response rate of 70%, and the clean data of 400 employees was used for data analysis. The structural equation modeling (SEM) technique was employed using Smart PLS 3.3.3 software. The results confirmed that both SE and BV mediate the relationship between SL and EP. Likewise, BV mediates the relationship between SE and EP, and SE mediates the relationship between SL and BV. Finally, in serial mediation, the relationship between SL and EP is also established via SE and BV together as mediators.

“…Notwithstanding theoretical basis, empirical data is lacking in demonstrating the relationship between SL and EVGB. Several studies, however, show that SL has a favourable impact on pro-environmental behavior, innovation, and green creativity Ji & Yoon, 2021;Tuan, 2020). With the lens of self-determination theory, some contextual and social elements, such as leadership, can help shape an individual's drive for pro-environmental conduct, such as green behavior.…”

“…While, Comparing servant leadership to other developing positive leadership styles (Hoch, 2013), the authors concluded that servant leadership was superior to the other forms of leadership because of its individuality and capacity to better explain a wide range of outcomes. SL outperform other leaders by concentrating on the requirements of their followers, and acknowledging their own social responsibilities (Ji & Yoon, 2021). Leaders should grow their followers in such a way so that they can become servant leaders themselves (Tuan, 2020).…”

Climate change has forced organizations to focus more on sustainable business practices, and employees' green behavior in such cases is of great importance. However, employees' green behavior is not simple and straightforward. Leadership and working environment in this regard need to be investigated. For this purpose, the present study assessed the role of servant leadership on employees’ voluntary green behavior. Furthermore, the mediating role of psychological empowerment has also been examined. Hypotheses were developed with the help of Self-determination theory and data were collected from 150 employees of the tourism and hotel industry. Empirical data confirms that servant leadership significantly fosters employees’ voluntary green behavior. Moreover, findings revealed that psychological empowerment partially mediates the link between SL-EVGB. This study has an important implication for the tourism and hotel industry that is to enhance EVGB tourism companies should use SL style. Moreover, tourism companies should empower their employees psychologically so that they work in an environment where they can take business-related decisions easily.

“…With these valuable resources in hand, employees' self-efficacy would be enhanced as they would strive to conserve these resources. Thus, based on the literature and the COR theory, it is expected that bank managers' servant leadership is likely to enhance the personal abilities and skills of bank employees, which in turn maximizes their self-efficacy beliefs (Jan et al, 2021;Ji & Hyun, 2021). It was therefore hypothesized that:…”

The purpose of conducting this research is to investigate the impact of servant leadership (SL) on employee engagement (EE) through the mediating role of self-efficacy (SE) among Pakistani bank employees. The literature suggests that servant leadership leads to increased self-efficiency, which in turn enhances employee engagement. However, the direct and indirect relationship between this leadership style and employee engagement remains under-researched. The purpose of this research was therefore to investigate the impact of servant leadership on Pakistani bank employees' engagement through the mediating role of selfefficacy. Survey data was collected from public and private bank employees using the multistage sampling method. Data analysis using SmartPLS revealed that servant leadership has a direct positive impact on employee engagement. The mediating role of self-efficacy between this relationship was also found to be positive and significant, in line with the conservation of resources theory. Thus, bank managers should practice servant leadership in interacting with their employees to improve the latter's involvement in their jobs.
