| Summary: | Social sustainability is one of the least researched and applied topics in the field of sustainability, and identifying the leadership approach associated with social sustainability is equally critical for organisations. The main purpose of this study is to examine the impact of servant leadership on social sustainability. The scope of this research is the Bezmialem Foundation University, which is a health–dedicated and nonprofit university, in Istanbul. The survey method was chosen as the data collection method, and a questionnaire was completed by 730 people working in the academic and administrative units of Bezmialem Foundation University. In accordance with the findings, positive and significant relationships were found between servant leadership and social sustainability. The originality of this study is derived from the fact that the relationship between servant leadership and social sustainability was examined. This research fills an important theoretical gap in the relevant field. Thus, it is likely that it would be beneficial for organisations that want to enhance their social sustainability practises to highlight the servant leadership approach as a leadership style. It is expected that the results of this research will be used by social sustainability practitioners and researchers within the framework of leadership approaches. |
