English Abstract

This study aimed to introduce servant leadership theory, determine the level of servant leadership practices in central public organizations in Riyadh city from the viewpoints of employees, and investigate the relationships between servant leadership and employees’ general job satisfaction.

Survey research method was employed and data were collected using a questionnaire.

Based on the random sampling, 317 employees were chosen from ten central public organizations located in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

To analyze the data descriptive statistics, Spearman Correlation Coefficient, and Multiple Regression Analysis were conducted.

The results indicated that the level of servant leadership in central public organizations is at the middle and the most prominent practices of servant leadership are associated with the dimensions of accountability and empowerment, while those associated with the dimension of humility and authenticity were the less common practices.

The results also pointed out that the level of employees’ job satisfaction was high.

At the same time the correlation coefficients showed that all dimensions of servant leadership were positively related with the employees’job satisfaction.

Results, moreover, indicated that the six independent variables (dimensions of servant leadership) combined explained about 22.3 % of the variation in the degrees of employees’job satisfaction.

Only five variables made significant unique contributions to the regression equation.

These five variables include empowerment, humility, authenticity, accountability forgiveness, and courage.

The study concluded that employees’job satisfaction is increasingly enhanced by the application and practice of servant leadership.

On the basis of these results, several recommendations could be suggested.
