It is to \u201cidentify empirical studies that explored servant leadership theory by engaging a sample population in order to assess and synthesize the mechanisms and outcomes and impact on servant leadership\u201d (Parris, D., &amp; Peachey, J., 2013, p. 377).<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Is the focus of the study appropriate?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The focus of the study is appropriate, but it is very broad as it is a Systematic Literature Review. The variables are clearly defined in the summary, but are vague: \u00a0\u201cthe researchers sought to provide an evidence-based answer of how does servant leadership work and how can we apply it\u201d (Parris, D., &amp; Peachey, J., 2013, p. 377).<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Is the overall intent of the study appropriate?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yes, the intent is clearly stated. The researchers are clear on what they hope to learn. \u201cThus, we sought to provide an evidence-informed answer to how does servant leadership work, and how can we apply it?\u201d(Parris, D., &amp; Peachey, J., 2013, p. 377).<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Are the participants and the sites appropriate?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yes the participants and the sites are appropriate. \u201cA disciplined screening process resulted in a final sample population of 39 appropriate studies\u201d (Parris, D., &amp; Peachey, J., 2013, p. 377).<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Is the purpose of the study narrowed through appropriate research questions and\/or hypotheses?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In terms of what literature was selected, the study was definitely narrowed by virtue of the fact that it was a systematic review of literature rather than a narrative review. \u00a0\u201cThe purpose of this study was to systematically examine and organize the current body of research literature that either quantitatively or qualitatively explored servant leadership theory in a given organizational setting. In this SRL we only included empirical studies that investigated servant leadership in an organizational context and excluded studies with a primary focus on model development or testing measurement instruments.(Parris, D., &amp; Peachey, J., 2013, p. 378).<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Does the purpose of the study follow logically from the statement of the problem and the literature review?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yes the purpose of the study is to assess empirical studies that explored theories of servant leadership in organizations to determine the impact of servant leadership on organizations (Parris, D., &amp; Peachey, J., 2013, p. 377). <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Is the purpose consistent with the study\u2019s overall approach?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yes the purpose is consistent with the study\u2019s overall approach.
