Abstract

The study was an examination of the role of servant leadership in worker's commitment to the Xander church (Pseudonym). In Xander church, workers' commitment is shallow, as reflected in attendance and service. A cross-sectional design was used to study 38workers using nonprobability purposive sampling. The hypotheses were: H1 Is there a statistically significant relationship between servant leader behaviors and workers' commitment? H2: Is there a statistically significant relationship between the servant leadership behavior of empowerment and church workers' reported commitment due to the length of stay? The eight dimensions servant leadership survey instrument measured servant leadership, while workers' commitment was measured with the 15-item Organizational Commitment Questionnaire. The data were analyzed with Spearman’s Rho correlation because of a small sample size. The results revealed that servant leadership predicted commitment, and the servant leadership survey element, behavior empowerment, was not predicted by the worker's length of stay. I recommend that further research be conducted to ascertain reasons for a low commitment since servant leadership behavior impacted commitment. Keywords: Servant leadership, commitment, church workers, empowerment, and leadership behavior.
仆人领导在教会同工委身中的角色
这项研究考察了仆人式领导在工人对赞德教会(化名)的承诺中的作用。在桑德教堂,工人的承诺是肤浅的,这反映在出席和服务上。采用非概率目的抽样,采用横断面设计对38名工人进行了研究。假设是:H1仆人式领导行为与员工承诺之间是否存在统计学上显著的关系?H2:授权的仆人领导行为与教会工作人员因停留时间而报告的承诺之间是否存在统计学上显著的关系?仆人式领导采用八维度调查工具测量仆人式领导,员工承诺采用15项组织承诺问卷测量。由于样本量小,数据采用Spearman 's Rho相关分析。结果发现,仆人式领导能预测员工的承诺,而仆人式领导的调查要素行为授权不能通过员工的工作时间来预测。我建议进行进一步的研究,以确定低承诺的原因,因为仆人式领导行为影响承诺。关键词:仆人式领导、委身、教会工作者、赋权、领导行为。
