There was no manipulation of variables , hence this is a non-experimental study.The authors hypothesized that a manager’s commitment and role inversion behavior lead to higher servant orientation which in turn is associated with high employee job satisfaction. To study they surveyed a sample of nurses from a large health care system. The participants were provided 2 questionnaires about their perception of their department head, and another questionnaire about job satisfaction. As per Plano-Clark And Creswell (2015), in a survey research design a sample is selected to represent a larger population.
