Abstract

The purpose of this study is to better understand the function of servant leadership and the mediation function of psychological capital (PsyCap) in order to promote employee job engagement and psychological well-being (PWB). Private higher education institutions in Islamabad were chosen as the study`s sample from among the people in Pakistan`s private higher education sector because they provide an easy ground to collect sample. The study included 210 participants, and the gender distribution of the sample. The RyffPWB, the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale, and Van Dierendonck and Nuijtenwere used to assess the data for PWB, work engagement, and servant leadership. The results indicate that there is no relationship between job engagement and PsyCap and that there is a significant negative link between PsyCap and servant leadership. The impacts of servant leadership characteristics on both PWB and PsyCap, which are significant positive assets of employees, are being investigated for the first time empirically in this research.
