    1. The authors claim that the existing understanding of servant leadership is not enough.<\/li>\n
    2. Two problems are clearly addressed and stated explicitly.<\/li>\n
    3. The first problem is about \u201cthe need to better understand the scope and magnitude of the influence that servant leadership has on a range of multilevel outcomes and\u2026\u201d<\/li>\n
    4. The second problem is the need of more advanced research designs and more comprehensive explorations to help managers better apply servant leadership in the real world.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      3.The importance of the problem is justified.<\/p>\n

      Rate<\/strong><\/p>\n

      3=Excellent<\/p>\n

      Evidence and\/or Reasoning<\/strong><\/p>\n

      Clear evidence of the importance of the problem is provided by plenty of references in the literature.<\/p>\n

      For example: Hofmann, 2002; Yammarino & Bass, 1991; Liden et al., 2008; Walumbwa et al., 2010a; and so on.<\/p>\n

      Rate<\/strong><\/p>\n

      3=Excellent<\/p>\n

      Evidence and\/or Reasoning<\/strong><\/p>\n

      The authors have identified several deficiencies about the problem:<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. The results of Walumbwa et al. (2010a) were not clear, therefore, the results need to be extended;<\/li>\n
      2. The individual-level outcomes have received little attention by servant leadership scholars, therefore, need to be noticed;<\/li>\n
      3. The traits linked to servant leadership and its outcome remain unclear.<\/li>\n
      4. There is only one study has linked leader agreeableness to servant leader behaviors; no studies have investigated leader extraversion.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Quality Criteria<\/strong><\/p>\n

        5.There are audiences who can benefit from the missing knowledge.<\/p>\n

        Rate<\/strong><\/p>\n

        1=Fair<\/p>\n

        Evidence and\/or Reasoning<\/strong><\/p>\n

        The authors have not specifically mentioned in the end of the introduction, but in the second paragraph, scholars and managers are noted.<\/p>\n

        3=Excellent<\/p>\n

        Evidence and\/or Reasoning<\/strong><\/p>\n

        The topic, problem, justification, deficiencies, and audiences form a quite logical and convincing argument that the study is of important and needed.<\/p>\n

        7.The passage is well written.<\/p>\n
