A Comprehensive Research About Academician’s Servant Leadership Style and Its Consequences

Abstract

Knowledge and information era that we are living in brings important changes even in the definition of leadership concept and leadership styles. As a result of these changes, instead of a leadership style that the others serve for him and goes beyond self-interests, a new leadership model that serves others and take their needs as priority which is called “servant leadership” emerged. Eventough in western literature, there are studies which investigates the impact of this specific leadership style on individual and organizational dynamics and outputs, there isn’t any amprical research concerning the academicians and their servant leadership styles’ affects on personal and organizational outcomes. However servant leadership style is an ideal leadership style in terms of its specific characteristics in the academic world, especially in academician and student interaction and relationship. So the main purpose of this study is to emprically test the impact of academician’s servant leadership behaviors on students academic performance and extra role perfpormences (i.e. organizational citizenship behavior). The interveining effect of academician-student exhange quality (i.e.LMX) and trust is also going to be tested in a comprehensive model. For this purpose, the data of the study were collected from 818 students who are continuing their education in state and private universities in Istanbul, Turkey with structured questionnaire method. Study results proves the significant impact of servant leadership behaviours of the academicians on the sub-dimensions of trust including “trust in academicians”, “trust in top managament” and “trust in other students”. At the same time, servant leadership behaviour of academicians has a significant impact on academician-student exhange quality,It explains 64,6 % of LMX meaningfully. Theoratical contribution of this study is to investigate the impact of servant leadership on citizenship behavior and individual performance in a comprehensive model and to fill the gap the literature that is written in the field and proposing new interveining variables between servant leadership and dependent variables whereas amprical and practical contribution of this study is to test academicians servant leadership level and its outcomes in Turkish education sector for the very first time
