Abstract

Manuscript type: Research paper Research aims: This paper aims to investigate the impact of servant leadership on turnover intentions within the context of higher education institutions (HEIs). It further examines how resilience affects the relationship between the two variables. Design/Methodology/Approach: Based on the conservation of resource theory, a research model has been developed and tested through a questionnaire survey approach. Data collected from 301 academics in HEIs in Pakistan were analysed using covariance-based structural equation modelling. Research findings: The study provides empirical evidence on the importance of having leaders who administer servant leadership, as this will help to reduce the turnover intention. It also reports the mediating effect of employee resilience. Theoretical contribution/Originality: This study expands the previous literature by focussing on the servant leadership type, which has potentially led to positive followers’ behaviour. It also fills the research gap by incorporating employee resilience as a mediating variable. Practitioner/Policy implication: Principals, directors and vicechancellors of HEIs should reconsider their leadership strategies to promote a positive working environment, as this will help to address the problem of employee turnover. Research limitation/Implication: Since the data were collected from Pakistan, it may not be possible to generalise the findings.

仆人式领导对下属离职意向的影响:弹性的中介作用
手稿类型:研究论文研究目的:本文旨在调查高等教育机构(HEI)背景下仆人领导对离职意愿的影响。它进一步考察了弹性如何影响这两个变量之间的关系。设计/方法/方法:基于资源保护理论,通过问卷调查方法开发并测试了一个研究模型。使用基于协方差的结构方程模型对从巴基斯坦高等教育机构301名学者收集的数据进行了分析。研究结果:该研究提供了经验证据,证明拥有管理仆人领导的领导者的重要性,因为这将有助于降低离职意愿。它还报告了员工弹性的中介作用。理论贡献/独创性:本研究通过关注仆人领导类型来扩展先前的文献,这可能导致积极的追随者行为。它还通过将员工弹性作为中介变量来填补研究空白。从业者/政策含义:高等教育机构的校长、董事和副校长应重新考虑其领导策略,以促进积极的工作环境,因为这将有助于解决员工流动问题。研究局限性/影响:由于数据是从巴基斯坦收集的,因此可能无法概括研究结果。
