Abstract: (1683 Views)
Objective: The primary aim of this research was to conceptualize and empirically validate a servant leadership framework through the lens of organizational resilience within the General Directorate of Education in Khorasan Razavi Province.
Methods: The research methodology employed in this study is of a mixed-methods nature. The qualitative segment of the statistical population comprises managers and deputies from the General Directorate of Education in the province, as well as university academics and domain experts (15 individuals). In the quantitative segment encompassed all personnel affiliated with the General Directorate of Education of Khorasan Razavi (350 individuals). A statistical sample of 186 individuals was determined using the Morgan table, and in response to the anticipated dropout rate, 220 questionnaires were disseminated among the statistical sample. Data analysis and model fit assessment involved the application of structural equation modeling techniques.
Results: An examination of both servant leadership and organizational resilience variables, inclusive of their respective dimensions and components, indicated a confirmed interrelationship among these variables; specifically, it was established that organizational resilience exerts a positive influence on servant leadership, while situational awareness, vulnerability, and adaptability significantly affect organizational resilience, thereby demonstrating that the proposed model exhibits a commendable fit.
Conclusions: It can be conclusively articulated that the integration of servant leadership dimensions within an organizational resilience framework has the potential to facilitate the attainment of educational objectives, and thus, the implementation of the current research model within the educational framework is strongly advocated.
