Turner College associate professor of management Kevin Hurt has a number of different research studies in various stages of completion that aim to advance society’s knowledge about servant leadership. As Hurt explained to Turner Business, “One paper is a critique of what my coauthor and I perceive as a weakness of [servant leadership] theory, and, of course, we put forth our position on how to overcome that deficiency. Another paper positions psychological safety as a mediator between servant leadership, commitment, and workplace engagement.” Hurt, who currently serves as editor of Servant Leadership: Theory & Practice, has published a number of studies on various aspects of servant leadership, some of which are co-authored with graduates of the Turner College’s graduate degree program in organizational leadership. Hurt’s work on servant leadership is largely responsible for CSU’s ranking of 14th worldwide according to a 2021 study of the leading institutional producers of servant leadership research. Hurt’s latest work is also set to include new research that positions intrinsic motivation and trust in leadership as mediators between servant leadership and organizational commitment. “That paper is in the data collection stage at the moment,” Hurt pointed out, adding also, “A fourth project considers the implications of affective conflict and how servant leaders can mitigate its negative effects to encourage understanding, collaboration and enable servant leadership to build community within an organization.” With Hurt’s dedication to the subject of servant leadership, CSU’s worldwide ranking will likely improve.
