Abstract: Organizational leadership is the dominant function of management. It contributes to reducing burnout and stress and plays a significant role in promoting mental health and relaxation. The study intended to examine the effect of servant leadership on burnout dimensions, especially disengagement among the health sector employees in the district of Swabi Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. Furthermore, this study tested the moderating effect of transformational leadership in a relationship with servant leadership on disengagement. The population of this study was employees of the health sector in the Swabi district and the data were collected through questionnaires from 229 respondents. The study found that servant leadership positively affects employee disengagement, while transformational leadership moderates the relationship between servant leadership and disengagement. The findings provide significant implications for policymakers, especially for the health sector and generally for every sector underpinning for low disengagement among employees in organizations. Furthermore, this study flourishes the body of knowledge about leadership on the attribute of employees in developing countries. Future research on the effect of servant leadership with an autocratic leadership style on employee burnout in other sectors like the education and industrial sectors may be investigated.
