Abstract

The main purpose of the study is to know the practices of servant leadership (SL) in the context of Bangladesh. Specifically, the study explores the fitness of SL constructs in a developing country like Bangladesh. Data were collected using SL scale developed by Van Dierendonck and Nuijten from 432 respondents working in the different branches of private commercial banks of Bangladesh. The convenience sampling technique was used for selecting the respondents. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was applied for analyzing the data. It was revealed that SL is partially practices in the context of Bangladesh. All the constructs of SL are well fit with little modification in empowerment and forgiveness. The main implication of the study is that the SL has crossed the cultural applicability even in developing countries like Bangladesh, which has a cultural difference with any other Western country. The study also pointed out limitations and future research directions.
