Keywords:
servant leadership, learning satisfaction, academic quality, higher education, education studentsAbstract
Background
Despite the growing body of research on leadership styles in educational contexts, limited scholarly attention has been devoted to examining how servant leadership specifically influences academic quality through the mediating role of learning satisfaction in teacher education faculties.
Purpose
This study investigates the interplay between servant leadership, learning satisfaction, and academic quality among education students in higher education institutions.
Design/method/approach
Employing a qualitative library research design, this study systematically reviews and synthesizes peer-reviewed journal articles, academic books, and policy documents published between 2019 and 2025. The research procedure involves comprehensive literature identification, thematic categorization, and iterative data analysis through reduction, classification, comparison, and synthesis. Source triangulation and cross-referencing of theoretical positions ensure the trustworthiness of findings.
Results
The results reveal three principal themes: servant leadership fosters a supportive academic environment that enhances student engagement and motivation; learning satisfaction serves as a critical mediating mechanism linking leadership practices to academic outcomes; and the synergistic interaction between servant leadership and learning satisfaction produces a compounding positive effect on academic quality. This study proposes an integrative conceptual framework demonstrating the interconnected pathways through which servant leadership and learning satisfaction collectively shape academic quality.
Contribution/value
The findings contribute to educational management theory by addressing the identified research gap and offering practical implications for faculty leaders seeking to enhance academic quality in teacher education programs
