Entrepreneurial Servant Leadership and Employee Engagement on Employee Performance and Entrepreneurial Behavior

Abstract

This study explores the interplay between Entrepreneurial Servant Leadership (ESL) and employee engagement, focusing on their impact on employee performance and entrepreneurial behavior. Utilizing a qualitative approach grounded in a comprehensive literature review, the research synthesizes existing theories and empirical findings related to ESL and its influence on workplace dynamics. The analysis reveals that ESL, characterized by a leader's commitment to serving their employees, fosters a supportive environment that enhances employee engagement. Engaged employees are more likely to exhibit higher performance levels and display entrepreneurial behaviors, such as innovation and proactivity. The findings suggest that organizations adopting ESL can cultivate a motivated workforce, leading to improved overall performance and a culture of entrepreneurship. This paper contributes to the understanding of how leadership styles can shape employee outcomes and highlights the importance of integrating servant leadership principles in entrepreneurial contexts. Recommendations for future research include empirical studies to validate the proposed relationships and the exploration of contextual factors that may influence the effectiveness of ESL in diverse organizational settings.
