Impact of Servant Leadership Style on Employee’s Intentions to Stay in Indian Organizations

Abstract

The research paper attempts to study Servant leadership (SL) style in Indian organizations and its impact on employee’s intentions to stay with particular organization. The finding of the study indicates that there exists significant positive correlation between the dimensions of SLS (Servant Leadership Scale) and intentions to stay. The regression analysis of the eight factor model on Servant Leadership and dependent variable intentions to stay indicates that out of the eight dimensions (Empowerment, Standing Back, Authenticity, Forgiveness, Accountability, Humility, Courage and Stewardship) of SLS, empowerment and forgiveness significantly explains variance in dependent variable intentions to stay. It is evident from the study that characteristics of servant leadership help in enhancing staying intentions of employees with particular organization.
