Main Article Content
Abstract
This research investigated the impact of servant leadership on organizational performance of physicians in private hospitals in Punjab, Pakistan. The target population included general physicians working in primary and tertiary care hospitals, including consultants, Chief Physicians, and Resident Medical Officers. Data from 341 physicians were collected using convenience sampling, and statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS version 22. This study identified a positive and significant relationship and impact of servant leadership (emotional healing, altruistic calling, wisdom, organizational stewardship, and persuasive mapping) on organizational performance in private hospitals. These findings have implications for increasing organizational productivity where physicians can enhance their skills and serve more people.
