The effect of organizational citizenship behaviors on employee commitment to a supervisor, and in turn the effect of employee commitment to a supervisor on job satisfaction were also investigated. This research framework was tested through a survey on Vietnamese sales staffs from electronic retailing companies in Vietnam. The findings of this study showed significant and positive effects of servant leadership on job satisfaction, employee commitment to a supervisor and organizational citizenship behaviors. Additionally, the study found that organizational citizenship behaviors positively affected on employee commitment to a supervisor, as well as employee commitment to a supervisor had a positive effect on job satisfaction. The study provides managerial implications for sales managers who should identify the experiential needs of their staff and properly adopt the servant leadership as well as suggests directions for future research.

Current recession has led to many electronic stores in major cities bankruptcy. WonderBuy declared bankruptcy after one year of operation in Vietnam, with a loss of VND 52 billion. Then Best Caring, in the top 500 largest retailers in Asia - Pacific in 2009, left Vietnamese market in 2012. Next, five store chains of Home One and Ebest did the same in 2013. Low demand leads many electronic retailing stores owed rent, salaries, social insurance, as well as did downsize and reduced organizational size (Ngan, 2012). Therefore electronic retailing staffs often receive low salary in recent years. They usually work on weekend and holidays as well as many shifts. Thus they have a little time for their family. Furthermore, they also worry about losing their jobs to better candidates. Younger, more beautiful and highly educated staffs are better for organizational competition. These changes of work and working environment cause the staff stressful (Nam, 2008). LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com The effects of servant leadership on job satisfaction, employee commitment 2 The organizational structure affects not only productivity and economic efficiency but also job satisfaction, the effective performance of key activities and the efforts of staff (Mullins, 2010, p. Organizational restructurings negatively decrease job satisfaction and organizational commitment and work attitudes (Schweiger & DeNisi, 1991). After the downsizing, and outsourcing of recent years, Altman, Cooper, and Garner (1999, p.40) note that commitment from employees go down as the companies and leaders are no longer seen to be committed to them. Galunic and Weeks (2001) say companies need other strategies to encourage commitment such as flexible working, spending to support telecommuting and lifestyle-friendly perks. A leadership approach that is not reasonable could cause the performance decline and satisfaction decrease (Quick & Quick, 1984). The organizations also need good organizational citizens who accept to work overtime, help newcomers learn the ropes, and make contribution beyond the requested performance of their job (Giffin & Moorhead, 2014, p. Then their managers need to apply a suitable leadership for that issue to lead their staffs to overcome that difficult time. An effective leadership could make their staff become job satisfaction, have employee commitment to their supervisor and organizational citizenship behaviors (Mullins, 2010, p. Collins (2001) suggest that the leadership style adopt and promote within an organization is a key component of a leader’s ability to be successful in achieving long-term goals. Vietnamese companies also take care on leadership issues as the leadership is the key point LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com The effects of servant leadership on job satisfaction, employee commitment 3 in achieving organizational effectiveness. Then they need to find and implement an effective leadership to gain competitive advantage. Servant leadership has gained attention in both business and academic fields in recent years (Mayer, Bardes & Piccolo, 2008). Hale and Fields (2007, p. 379) point out servant leadership as “an understanding and practice of leadership that places the good of those led over the self-interest of the leader, emphasizing leader behaviors that focus on follower development, and de-emphasizing glorification of the leader”. That focus leaders’ moral behaviors that protecting followers from self-interested leaders pursuing ends for their own selfish gain (Graham, 1991; Liden, Wayne, Zhao, & Henderson, 2008). It also emphasizes their moral responsibility to the success of the organization as well as to the success of their subordinates, the organization’s customers, and other stakeholders (Ehrhart, 2004). Next Thompson (2003) and Girard (2000) report a statistically significant positive correlation between servant leadership and job satisfaction. In addition, Sokoll (2014) stated there is a positive correlation between servant leadership and employee commitment to a supervisor. Many empirical studies notice the correlation of servant leadership and organizational citizenship behaviors (Barbuto & Wheeler, 2006; Liden et al. Ehrhart (2004) conclude that servant leadership could affect organizational citizenship behaviors. Furthermore, there are a few of research for the role of organizational citizenship behaviors on employee commitment to the supervisor, and the effect of employee commitment to the supervisor on job satisfaction. Paillé (2012) note the positive effect of organizational LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com The effects of servant leadership on job satisfaction, employee commitment 4 citizenship behaviors on employee commitment to a supervisor. Then Cheng, Jiang, and Riley (2003) conclude the employee commitment to a supervisor positively affect on job satisfaction. However, there are few studies about which leadership approach are appropriate in the Vietnamese context or how it empirically affect employee behaviors and performances. Therefore there is growing interest on effective leadership in Vietnam.
