Servant Leadership and Job Satisfaction: Pastors' Perception of Organizational Servant Leadership and Job Satisfaction

This study investigated how pastors and ministers¿ perception of organizational servant leadership was related to their job satisfaction. 72 pastors and 72 ministers out of 145 multi-staff SBC churches in Tarrant County, Texas participated in this study (n=144). The Organizational Leadership Assessment (OLA) and the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ short-form) were utilized. The results displayed that pastors and ministers who perceived higher organizational servant leadership within their church staffs showed greater satisfaction with their ministries and vice versa in SBC churches in Tarrant County, Texas. In addition, there was a moderate difference between the two groups (pastors and ministers) concerning the organizational servant leadership tendency within their same church staff teams.
