Mediational Role of Job Satisfaction between Servant Leadership and Employees Commitment: Empirical Evidence from Private Universities

Abstract

    This study was taken to explain the role of job satisfaction as a mediator between servant leader behavior and employees commitment. Altruistic calling, persuasive mapping and organizational stewardship were the strong predictors of employees commitment. A structured questionnaire was used to get responses from 136 faculty members of different private universities. The findings of this work showed that faculty members from private universities not only affirm their behavioral importance while making policies and rules for the reward system (Job satisfaction) but showed their concerns to develop and adopt its behaviors as well. The contribution of this present study is not only to add to the novelty of literature in the field of servant leadership model approach, but it also contributes towards the employees commitment and job satisfaction in private universities. Theoretical, as well as practical suggestions, are provided at the end of the paper.
