Journal of Entrepreneurship, Management, and Innovation Volume 5, Issue 2, March 2023 [230] IMPACT OF PERCEIVED SERVANT LEADERSHIP STYLE ON ORGANIZATIONAL COMMITMENT, JOB SATISFACTION AND ABSENTEEISM: EVIDENCE FROM SOCIAL ORGANIZATIONS OF PAKISTAN Waqas Bin Dilshad 1 * and Syed Shabib Ul Hasan 2 ABSTRACT Social organizations are now perpetually seen as the third sector of society in Pakistan, where their numbers have proliferated considerably. The reasons attributed to this predicament are the failure of the state apparatus and business to provide an effective development mechanism at the grass-roots level. In most developing countries, such as Pakistan, the government struggles to address the abundance of social issues present at hand. The role of social organizations in such circumstances is not only paramount but also immensely valued. Numerous studies have been conducted on leadership and its impact, however, social organizations have not been given due consideration in this regard, as they are overlooked due to not being centered on profit maximization. Social organizations, if managed appropriately, can be an advantageous source of capacity building for a nation. Social organizations in Pakistan are working on crucial issues prevalent throughout the country, i.e., education, health, employment, hunger, old age, human rights, women's rights, poverty, etc. This study examines the impact of perceived servant leadership styles on organizational commitment, job satisfaction, and absenteeism in social organizations in Pakistan. Primary data was collected and analyzed using software called SPSS. It is concluded that servant leadership is a good predictor of the variables understudied. It has a substantial positive relation with organizational commitment and job satisfaction, while it is adversely related to absenteeism. Keywords: Social Organizations; Perceived Servant Leadership Styles; Organizational Commitment; Job Satisfaction; Absenteeism. 1 Ph.D. Scholar, University of Karachi and Assistant Professor, Benazir Bhutto Shaheed University, Karachi.
