Author(s): Amina Omar Mohamud and Mohamud Mohamed Allaso
Abstract: Servant leadership has emerged as a critical leadership model embraced within organizations and targeted to improve employees’ well-being, morale, and performance, leading to organizational excellence over time. This qualitative study sought to explore how servant leadership might encourage greater employee well-being and job satisfaction, and how this relates to the sustainability of organizational performance in the East African context. Data were synthesized from peerreviewed journal articles, policy documents, and conference proceedings pertinent to Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania. Findings demonstrate that servant leadership encourages organizational trust and safety, reduces stress, and enhances employee engagement, with positive implications for sustainability outcomes. However, challenges exist within contexts such as hierarchy of leadership, limited leadership training, and socio-economic competing priorities. The study recommends that servant leadership and well-being recapitalization be strategically pursued for improved productivity and governance in both public and private sectors in East Africa.
