ABSTRACT
Servant leadership style is typically based on positive individual psychology and self-interest. The focus of research today tends towards the positive psychology of individual leadership styles such as servant leadership. This empirical study ventures on a constructive discussion of the personal inherent desire of servanthood, successful self-management strategies for effective and sustainable performance, and organizational developments in higher education. The natural instinct of serving others' needs first was conceptualized and modeled scientifically for organizational outcomes in the context of Pakistani higher education institutes. Data was obtained through random sampling from public and private sectors. Further, PLS Smart 3.0 was utilized to perform a statistical analysis. Results revealed that servant leadership predicts organizational performance only through two desired outcomes tested hypothetically. Insightful discussion on statistical results, key practical conclusions and theoretical implications have been presented.
