Abstract:PurposeLeadership has a powerful influence on learning and development in today's organizations. Various types of leadership have been found to be conducive to building a learning organization. This empirical study compared the effect of transformational and servant leadership on a learning organization (an organization that constantly transforms itself using learning and development techniques) in the context of Chinese small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).Design/methodology/approachFour proposed hypoth… Show more
“…These results explain that an increase in servant leadership by supervisors in the organization will not significantly affect the behavior of individual supervisors of employees. Indirectly, the results of this study are similar to Xie (2020). In this regard, servant leadership does not significantly impact organizational learning, which is closely related to an organizational learning culture, including the transfer of knowledge within organizations.…”

“…In this regard, servant leadership does not significantly impact organizational learning, which is closely related to an organizational learning culture, including the transfer of knowledge within organizations. Xie (2020) further reveals that the insignificant impact of servant leadership is caused by the cultural context of the Chinese state as an object of research that has a highpower distance. According to Hofstede (2011), Indonesia can be categorized as a country with high power distance characters; the same factors can then be used as the basis for the rejection of this hypothesis.…”
Knowledge sharing takes part in supporting the era of society 5.0. This study aims to investigate the role of perceived organizational support (POS), servant leadership, and organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) as the antecedents of knowledge sharing. The data were collected via an online questionnaire from 225 public sector employees in Indonesia. Structural equation modeling results indicate that OCB has a significant positive effect on knowledge sharing while also fully mediated POS and servant leadership's effect on knowledge sharing. However, no significant direct effect was found between POS and servant leadership on knowledge sharing. This paper's findings contribute to the establishment of knowledge sharing's antecedents' concept, especially in the public sector. Furthermore, this paper responds to the call for additional research concerning the consequences of OCB in the public sector.

“…As per Greenleaf in 1997, “the servant-leader is seen as servant first” which consists of power that encourages people to lead in a better manner and helps these leaders to make choice of serving first. The theory which is linked with SL is basically transformational leadership which not only looks toward achieving the best results and profit but also toward the personal development of the people (Xie, 2020). There are some common traits of a servant leader: empathy, listening, awareness, forward looking, altruistic and community focused (Spears, 2010).…”

The result was analyzed using SPSS, Pearson correlation and regression was used to understand the significance level and reliability of all the independent and dependent variables, respectively.
Findings
Through correlation and regression, it was found that presence of EI and SL style in a leader plays a huge role in employee job satisfaction. It was also found that EI and SL are the substantial predictor which have positive impact over employee job satisfaction.
Originality/value
The outcome of the study will help the leaders understand the significance that the EI and SL have in their role to maintain employee job satisfaction, as well as the training and development measures for leaders.
“…Happily, this is exactly what we find in the article “The impact of servant leadership and transformational leadership on learning organization: a comparative analysis” by Xie (2020). By using SMEs in China as a test bed, the author sets outs straight away to recognize the paucity of research in this area and decides to look at two leadership styles in particular in relation to the learning organization: transformational leadership and servant leadership.…”
Purpose
Academic research is often regarded as a source of many truths, and if people seek answers to problems they should turn to books and journals to uncover a way forward. However, the path toward that kind of enlightenment is often a frustrating one. Academic research is often difficult to access due to paywalls, and when it is accessible the meaning and findings of a study may still seem impenetrable due to the language that is used. It is not surprising to see that academic books are rarely best sellers, as they are hardly page turners.
