The Impact of Servant Leadership and Altruism-Oriented Culture on the Growth of Research staff

The growth of research staff is the interactive effect of research leaders, cultural environment of research organization and characteristics of research staff. Using the Theory of Servant Leadership (SL) and Altruism-Oriented Culture (AOC) for reference, we built a theoretical model on the Growth Performance (GP) of research staff. The statistics results of the survey indicated that: (1)The promotion of SL was very evident. (2)GP dimensions were significantly varied as for different combinations of AOC. (3)Because the combinations of AOC were different, the impacts of SL had been indicated as three patterns, which were total/ alternative/ opposite patterns. The study proved the adjusting effects of AOC and revealed the microcosmic mechanism and application conditions of SL´s effect.
