Leadership in High-Performance Organizations: Quantitative Research on Belonging, Servant Leadership, and Personality in High-Performance Work Systems

Matthew A. Dussia | 2023

Abstract

The relationship between belonging, servant leadership, and personality in high-performance work systems was explored in this quantitative study. The University Belongingness Questionnaire (UBQ), the Global Servant Leadership (SL-7) Assessment, the High-Performance Work Systems Survey (HPWS), and the mini-IPIP were utilized. SurveyMonkey was the online data platform to aggregate data. Advertising took place on selected social media platforms and through various organizations. Descriptive statistics characterized the sample. Pearson product-moment correlation analysis was conducted to determine whether there is a linear association between the variables. If a p-value was less than 0.05, then the hypothesis was correct. The study’s goal was to inform leaders to what extent servant leadership should be employed in high-performance work systems. Authorization from the Regent University Institutional Review Board was obtained before collecting surveys.
