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.
