The Way of the Servant Citizen: Building, Mindfulness and Reverence for Work (BMW): A Thematic Synthesis of Servant Attributes from Servant Leadership, Organizational Citizenship Behavior and the Servanthood of Jesus

Abstract

This paper highlights the topic of servant citizens. These are ordinary members of the community who consistently demonstrate servant-first attributes and behaviors. They do not necessarily hold any formal positions of leadership, although those who demonstrate the capacity for leadership may potentially become servant leaders. The term servant citizen is introduced and explained here as it has yet to be found in contemporary literature.
