During the past few years, leadership studies have clearly moved away from

a strong focus on, most notably, transformational leadership toward a stronger emphasis on
a shared, relational, and global perspective where especially the interaction between leader
and follower are key elements (paper 4)

servant leadership theory emphasizes on the personal


growth and need of followers

servant leadership adds the component of social responsibility to transformational


leadership (Graham, 1991)

The magnum opus of Robert Greenleaf, Servant Leadership is a recent theory of leadership that


argues that the most effective leaders are servants of their people. ... Servant leaders get results
for their organization through whole-hearted attention to their followers and followers' needs.

Somehow servant leadership has many similarities with the transformational and charismatic leadership
as well as studied by Graham (1991) stated that Weberian charismatic authority, personal celebrity
charisma, transformational leadership and servant leadership is theoretical underpinning for each of
these leadership models. She concluded that transformational and servant leadership are both
inspirational and moral. However, the other study has found the uniqueness of servant leadership than
others leadership style especially transformational leadership. (Servant leadership theory).

and Workplace Civility Climate
The word Eudaimonic is the term commonly used for the “happiness” or “well-being”
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to explore the role of servant leadership and workplace civility
climate in shaping Eudaimonic well-being among 312 employees in a Dutch mental health care
organization

Liden et al. [72]
Conclusion: The findings showed that servant leadership had a stronger relationship with eudaimonic well-being
when workplace civility climate was high
The traditional proposition that a happy worker is a productive worker [27] has shown mixed
results, suggesting that this relationship is mediated by an interplay of variables such as
relationships, health, and motivation [28].
First, we bring the eudaimonic
component of positive employee well-being into organization studies hereby emphasizing the role
of the workplace in eliciting our domain-free full psychological functioning. Second, we identify the
specific role of servant leadership, under the condition of a civil work climate, in impacting not only

3. Title: Behavioral Incivility and Leadership Styles: Assessing The Mediation Of Job Strain, Employment
Insecurity And Relational Injustice: A Conceptual Model.
Passive leadership: destructive behaviors. Therefore, the authors develop the two-dimensional leadership theory with
“concern for people” (human orientated) and “concern for a task” (task-oriented) in which they describe four types of
passive leadership styles, Laissez-faire leadership with low task-orientation and ineffective people. In contrast, the other
type of leadership, the Tyrannical leadership has a high level of task-orientation but the employees have destructive
behaviors toward their fellows [9, 13, 16, 17]. Yet the supervisors try to achieve their goals by using authoritarian rule
over their employees which clearly depicts the abusive leadership [7, 18]. Nevertheless, by using

Servant leadership: provides foundations for the theories that emphasize the character of individuals and principles of
human growth. Researchers have been arguing those servant leadership theories initially focus on the development of
an individual and then achieve the organizational goal overall [20,

Behavioral Incivility: Uncivil and deviant behaviors have ambiguous intent to harm others with rude and discourteous
behavior towards their co-workers [27, 28]. Since the uncivil behaviors have ambiguous intent so it is difficult to
understand whether the person in charge intentionally or unintentionally wants to overlook or harm his co-workers. Past
studies have described that the workplace deviant behavior creates disturbance in the organizational environment and
causes aggression among the employees [6, 29, 30]. Today incivility is prevalent in organizations more than ever before.
The more common type of uncivil behaviors may involve bullying, harassment ignoring a co-worker, being derogatory
and indifferent to workers’ opinions. Incivility is at the low end of the workplace mistreatment continuum but when it
will be overlooked it may result in deteriorating the conditions in the organization [2, 31,

turnover of intentions. Furthermore, the spiral theory of incivility suggests that incivility spiral commences when one
employee behaves with incivility with his co-worker [29, 33].

According to author (paper 3) the servant leadership leads to job strain, employment insecurity and relational injustice
among the employees. These negative attitudes lead to behavioral incivility among the employees. It is very much
difficult to understand that whether one person having leadership charge wonts to overlook or his coworkers
intentionally or intentionally.

Purpose: This study has reviewed the literature on the relationship between passive leadership, servant leadership, job strain, employment
insecurity, and relational injustice and behavioral incivility.

Method: literature re

Conclusion: this paper, a systematic literature review method is adopted and it has been revealed that passive leadership increases
behavioral incivility while servant leadership cured it by decreasing it. Based on several evidences, the Job strain, employment insecurity, and
relational injustice are proposed as strong mediators in this regard.
