Coetzer, Bussin, &amp; Geldenhuys, (2017) stated, \u201cThe results were used to identify four general functions of a servant leader clustered into strategic servant leadership and operational servant leadership. The summary of results stated as following &#8220;On an individual level servant leadership positively influenced work engagement, organizational citizenship behavior, creativity and innovation, organizational commitment, trust, self-efficacy, job satisfaction, person-job fit or person-organizational fit, leader-member exchange, and work-life balance.&#8221; In addition, &#8221; servant leadership was negatively related to burnout and turnover intention. On a team or group level, group organizational citizenship behavior, group identification, service culture or climate, and the procedural justice climate positively influenced by servant leadership.&#8221; Finally, &#8220;on an organizational level, servant leadership was positively related to customer service and sales performance.&#8221;\u00a0 (Coetzer, et al., 2017, p.19).

They also indicated the importance of implication of this study also could be used to design curriculums for servant leadership development programmes and to cultivate a servant leadership culture within an organization.

Experimental type studies might be valuable in this regard.\u201d Also, \u201cThe functions and performance areas of a servant leader may also help to create serving organizations, organizations that leave behind legacies in individuals and the community throughout its existence.
