Abstract：
Servant leadership has received a growing consideration among scholars and practitioners as a viable leadership model capable of bringing positive changes in the increasingly complex healthcare system. The increasing servant leadership literature in healthcare requires an integrated research work that provides a holistic picture of the existing studies. This systematic review aims to synthesize servant leadership conceptualizations, theoretical frameworks, measurement tools, and nomological networks (antecedents, mediators, outcomes, and moderators) associated with prior research in healthcare. A systematic synthesis of 55 pertinent healthcare-specific conceptual and empirical studies demonstrated that servant leadership assumes a crucial role in developing a committed workforce that contributes towards the achievement of performance excellence in healthcare. The review uncovers that the Global Servant Leadership Scale is the most utilized measure of servant leadership in sector-specific studies in healthcare. Moreover, social exchange theory is the dominant underpinning mechanism explaining the influence of servant leadership on specific variables of interest. The findings further revealed that servant leadership has a positive relationship with a range of valued individual and organizational outcomes in healthcare. Our review contributes to the development of servant leadership theory and practice through ascertaining sector-specific studies in the territory of healthcare. We finally conclude by providing a detailed panorama for future healthcare-specific servant leadership research in terms of potential topics, methodological rigor, and less explored variables in prior studies.
摘要：
仆人式领导作为一种可行的领导模式，能够在日益复杂的医疗保健系统中带来积极的变化，在学者和从业者中得到了越来越多的考虑。医疗保健中越来越多的仆人式领导文献需要进行综合研究工作，以提供现有研究的整体情况。这篇系统的综述旨在综合仆人式领导的概念化，理论框架，测量工具,和法理网络(前身，调解员,结果，和主持人)与先前的医疗保健研究相关。对55项相关的医疗保健特定概念和实证研究的系统综合表明，仆人式领导在培养致力于实现医疗保健卓越绩效的员工队伍方面发挥着至关重要的作用。审查发现，全球仆人领导能力量表是医疗保健行业特定研究中最常用的仆人领导能力指标。此外，社会交换理论是解释仆人式领导对特定利益变量影响的主导支撑机制。研究结果进一步表明，仆人式领导与医疗保健中一系列有价值的个人和组织成果有着积极的关系。我们的审查有助于公务员领导理论和实践的发展，通过确定特定部门的研究在医疗保健领域。最后，我们通过提供一个详细的全景为未来的医疗保健特定的仆人领导研究在潜在的主题方面，方法的严谨，在先前的研究中，较少探索变量。
