Abstract

Kepemimpinan melayani meruapakan salah satu topik yang luas dan menarik bagi kalangan peneliti dalam beberapa tahun terakhir. Hal ini disebabkan oleh pendekatan yang beragam dan luas yang diterapkannya dalam model kepemimpinannya, yang secara signifikan berbeda dengan filosofi kepemimpinan lainnya. Kepemimpinan pelayanan juga memainkan peran kunci dalam mempengaruhi hasil di tingkat individu dan tim, termasuk komitmen organisasi, perilaku kewarganegaraan organisasi, dan kinerja. Dengan memfokuskan pada pelayanan kepada orang lain, paradigma kepemimpinan telah berubah secara dramatis, beralih dari sekadar memimpin untuk menyeimbangkan peran memimpin dan melayani secara bersamaan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji dampak kepemimpinan pelayanan terhadap kinerja karyawan dengan melibatkan persepsi dukungan organisasi sebagai mediator. Selain itu, penelitian ini juga bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi hasil variabel persepsi dukungan organisasi terhadap kinerja karyawan, khususnya dalam konteks pekerja di sektor jasa. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah pendekatan kuantitatif dengan menggunakan skala Likert untuk pengumpulan data. Partisipan diminta memberikan tanggapan mereka menggunakan skala Likert, yang kemudian dianalisis menggunakan metode SMARTPLS. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kepemimpinan pelayanan memiliki pengaruh positif terhadap persepsi dukungan organisasi dan kinerja karyawan. Dengan demikian, perasaan karyawan terhadap dukungan organisasi dapat membimbing mereka melewati batas kinerja yang diharapkan. Selain itu, dukungan organisasi yang dirasakan juga memiliki dampak signifikan terhadap kinerja karyawan, menekankan perlunya peningkatan dukungan organisasi untuk mengintegrasikan karyawan ke dalam tim dan meningkatkan kinerja mereka.Penelitian ini juga menyoroti pentingnya pemimpin untuk terus menekankan peran mereka dalam melayani bawahannya, dengan tujuan mempertahankan persepsi dukungan organisasi dan mencapai kinerja maksimal dalam organisasi.
