Abstract
Purpose: This study examines the impact of servant leadership on sustainable workforce development, focusing on the mechanisms through which it enhances workforce sustainability in Pakistan. Given that 65% of Pakistan’s population consists of youth, sustainable employability is a critical concern. This research explores how servant leadership can contribute to long-term employability and workforce resilience.
Methodology: This study collected data from bankers working in public and private commercial banks in Islamabad. A total of 315 responses were obtained through a combination of online and in-person surveys. The proposed theoretical model was analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS 4.0 to ensure robust statistical assessment and hypothesis testing.
Findings:
The findings will be shared after data analysis.
Originality/Value:
This study contributes to the existing literature by examining the role of servant leadership in fostering sustainable workforce development, a relatively underexplored area in the context of Pakistan. Unlike previous research that primarily focuses on economic and policy-driven approaches to employability, this study highlights the leadership-driven mechanisms that enhance workforce resilience. The findings offer valuable insights for policymakers, organizational leaders, and HR professionals seeking to develop leadership strategies that promote long-term employability and skill retention, particularly in emerging economies.
