Abstract

This study aimed to build a proposed strategic vision to consolidating the degree of practicing organizational citizenship behavior among academic leaders in Jordanian universities and its relationship to servant leadership. The study used the descriptive correlation method and relied on a questionnaire applied to a sample of (242) faculty members in three major Jordanian universities. The study found that academic leaders in Jordanian universities practice the behavior of organizational citizenship and the dimensions of servant leadership to a medium degree and that there is a positive statistically significant correlational relationship at a significance level (α ≤ 0.05) between the degree of academic leaders' practice of behavior of organizational citizenship and the servant leadership. The results showed that there are no statistically significant differences at the level of (α ≤ 0.05) between the degree of academic leadership practice of organizational-citizenship behavior and servant leadership for all fields attributed to the variables of specialization and university, while differences were found in the degree of practicing servant leadership attributed to the variable of academic rank in favor of the rank of professor. Then, the study presented a proposed strategic vision to consolidating the practice of academic leaders in Jordanian universities of organizational-citizenship behaviors and servant leadership
