Servant Leadership in Diverse Contexts

/in /by

While servant leadership is often associated with Christianity and the Bible, one could argue that it is compatible with most religions and philosophies and that it transcends cultures. This assignment presents you with an opportunity to explore other cultures, philosophies, and religions and asks you to think critically about how servant leadership practices are apparent in other religions and cultures.

Select one cultural context. Also select one religious viewpoint. You may not select Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, or Christianity, including any of its denominations or traditions such as Eastern Orthodoxy and Roman Catholicism.

Examine how the principles of servant leadership are evident in that chosen culture and in that chosen religion. In an essay (1,250-1,500 words), identify similarities and differences between servant leaderships philosophies and the values evident in the selected cultural context and religious viewpoint. Be sure to provide specific examples of practices and/or values in your discussion.

You are required to locate a total of four articles that address servant leadership in your chosen cultural context and religious viewpoint. Two of the articles should examine servant leadership from a different cultural perspective and two articles should examine servant leadership from a different religious perspective. Be sure to select academic articles from reputable sources that are 10-20 pages in length. Include information from the articles in your discussion.

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

Instructions

FFH is concerned about the competitiveness of its total rewards package. Most store managers and supervisors have been with FFH for over 20 years and have been very satisfied with their compensation. However, while interviewing prospective candidates, the company is getting indications that their total rewards package is not equal to their competitors. You are being tasked with recommending a strategy for improving FFH’s total rewards package in order to increase competitiveness with other businesses and to positively support recruitment and retention initiatives.

Include the following in your total rewards package strategy for HR management and organizational leaders:

    Analyze components to include in the total rewards package. This analysis should include salary and benefits as well as areas beyond compensation. Should FFH lead the market, pay at market rates, or lag behind the market? To move toward the broader definition of total rewards, what two other components should be considered? 

    Compare the salary and benefits components with adding an incentive compensation package. Is there a benefit to including a bonus, commission, or profit sharing as part of FFH’s total rewards package?

    Explain what legal compliance requirements FFH should consider when creating a total rewards package.

    Recommend a total rewards package strategy for FFH’s management. Do cultural and inclusive practices that support a diverse workforce impact your recommendations? Justify the components you are including. 

Your total rewards package strategy should demonstrate graduate-level writing skills through the accurate communication of thoughts that support a central idea and use of correct grammar and mechanics as expected of a human resources professional.

    References: Support your analysis with at least 6 academic, scholarly, or professional resources with at least 3 in-text citations.

Two sources must include:
