ABSTRACT

The aim of this study is to explore the impact of servant leadership on employee innovation, particularly through in-depth analyses based on the perspective of trust. Through an empirical research methodology, we found that servant-leaders significantly contribute to employees' innovative behaviours by enhancing their trusting relationship with employees. By focusing on employees and providing support and care, servant leaders not only create a work environment conducive to innovation, but also stimulate employees' innovative awareness and motivation through the establishment of trust mechanisms. The findings suggest that trust plays an important mediating role between servant leadership and employee innovation, providing new perspectives and insights into organisational management practices.
