“…According to several studies, a leader's encouragement of community involvement among his or her subordinates can benefit both the department and the organization at large.

This study delves into the intricate dynamics of servant leadership and its profound impact on sustaining employee motivation amidst the unprecedented challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. It sets out to meticulously examine and discern the pivotal factors that underpin the remarkable efficacy of servant leadership practices, particularly centered around female employees in an Indonesian setting, with a deliberate emphasis on women leaders. The research aims to understand the effectiveness of servant leadership among female employees in Indonesia, with a specific focus on women in leadership roles. The study includes a comprehensive sample of 310 respondents and utilizes confirmatory factor analysis within the Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares framework to determine the key factors influencing servant leadership effectiveness. The findings of the study suggest that one of the most influential factors in driving the effectiveness of servant leadership is helping subordinates grow and succeed. On the other hand, emotional healing has the least influential impact on enhancing servant leadership practices compared to other dimensions. The study's findings provide valuable insights for organizations, especially in navigating the difficulties presented by the COVID-19 pandemic. Understanding the importance of fostering employees' personal growth and success, as well as acknowledging the limited impact of emotional healing, can inform leadership approaches to sustain workforce motivation during times of uncertainty. These results highlight the significance of cultivating employees' development within a framework of servant leadership, ultimately leading to a more resilient and motivated workforce, with particular relevance for female employees.

“…To serve others, SLs create a meaningful impact on followers by a variety of actions such as listening, understanding, language, imagination, withdrawal, acceptance, empathy, foresight, awareness, perception, persuasion, focus, conceptualization, healing, and intuition (Ng, 2019). Th us, they encompass service, authenticity, mutual trust, empowerment (Breslin, 2017), and focus on their followers' well-being (Andersen, 2018). Based on Greenleaf's notes, Anderson (2008) listed the actions of SLs as to care, to know the followers well, to focus on followers and their needs, to grow and develop them, to listen, to provide a vision, to persuade, to build strong and unique (agape) relationships with followers, to empower others, to build a sense of community and to display humility.…”

This study aims to examine any possible effects of servant leadership (SL) on psychological empowerment (PE) in terms of sub dimensionality. Implementing convenience sampling, 356 questionnaires were collected from five-star hotel employees in Antalya. The overall relationships were tested by conducting Pearson’s correlation analysis, and all constructs were subjected to the exploratory factor analysis (EFA). Later on, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was conducted in terms of providing support for dimensionality and confirmed convergent and discriminant validity via Amos. To test the hypothesized model, structural equation modeling was employed. The model showed that Agapao love has a substantial significant positive effect on the meaning sub-dimension of the PE, and the same effect was observed in the competence and impact sub-dimensions of the PE. Along with Agapao love, trust was also significant and had positive effects on PE sub-dimensions. Referring to our discussion in this paper, leaders should support their followers in terms of psychological empowerment and preferably closely interact with their subordinates as an expected leadership behavior in service enterprises. Besides, trustworthiness is a crucial cue for kitchen employees in terms of motivation, inspiration, and competence.
