- Abstract
The aim of this study is to understand servant leadership's relationship with organizational commitment and to evaluate the moderating role of work exhaustion throughout a research in Turkish cultural context. The study assumed that work exhaustion would deteriorate the positive effect of servant leadership on organizational commitment and would moderate the relationship between perceived servant leadership and organizational commitment. A questionnaire involving the servant leadership scale by Vidaver-Cohen, Reed and Colwell (2010), organizational commitment scale by Meyer, Allen and Smith (1993) and work exhaustion scale by Moore (2000) were applied to a sample of respondents working in institutions from banking, insurance, and education sectors and those who report to one supervisor/manager in their institution. Results indicated that a positive relationship exists between perceived servant leadership and organizational commitment and perception of work exhaustion moderates that relationship. The higher the perception of work exhaustion weakens the relationship between perceived servant leadership and organizational commitment. Small sample size and drawbacks of self-report technique are the limitations of this study.
