How Servant Leadership Could Effectively Influence Entrepreneurial Mindset of the Gen-Z?

Abstract

Correct leadership style is the key success in leading companies, organizations, corporations, and groups of people within the management system, to accomplish their goals. Many people who have applied incorrect leadership models have suffered tremendous losses or experienced failures. Hardship may occur not only in reaching their goals, but also in misleading people. This phenomenon becomes more crucial when we apply the leadership function to the Z generation (age 11-26). The people of Gen-Z have a tendency toward anxiety disorder (stress), introverted and easy to complain, and fear of missing out (FOMO). Therefore, human capital management, leadership teams, and performance-event management must choose and apply a specific leadership style to lead the generation, such as servant leadership. The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of servant leadership on Gen-Z entrepreneurial mindset management system. By applying experimental research through a randomized controlled design, the results show that, especially during the second period of research, Gen-Z people respond to certain servant leadership categories when they are applied directly shortly after the treatment period. Meanwhile, servant leadership does not bring any significant differences when applied for in a longer period after the treatment session.
