**Apologies for cross-posting**
The National Academy of Human Resources recently sponsored an essay-writing
competition inquiring as to how organizations might maintain high employee
commitment given the ubiquity of organizational restructuring in the modern
economy.
I am a PhD candidate in I/O psychology at the University of Central Florida,
and I actually won 2nd place in this national competition by discussing how
fostering a culture of servant leadership seems to be the answer. The piece
is relatively brief and I would like to develop the paper into a full-
fledged journal submission.
Because the paper uses servant leadership as its primary construct of
interest, one place that could use work is a justification of why servant
leadership is preferable over more widely-used approaches to leadership.
Additionally, for funding reasons, I need to incorporate an element of
culture into the paper. For example, how should servant leadership look
differently (or would it at all) across cultures in order to maintain high
levels of organizational commitment? Or, how do notions of legitimation,
commitment, and/or leadership differ across cultures?
If any of these questions interest you, and you'd like to help me put the
finishing touches on this paper, I'd love to hear from you. Shoot me an
email and I can send you a copy of the paper in its current format and we
can talk about collaborating.
Thanks!
