Today, innovation and its association with leadership are dubiously one of the key challenges
faced by the Pakistani banking sector. However, lack of investigation on this issue has led to
examining the effect of servant leadership in fostering employee creativity through the
mediating role of knowledge sharing, thriving at work and burnout. Further, the study
framework was established from theories, namely the social exchange theory, social learning
theory and conservation of resource theory. The purposive sampling technique was used to
gather 286 useable responses. Findings obtained by using Smart PLS-SEM 3.0 which indicated a
significant positive relationship of servant leadership with knowledge sharing, thriving at work,
and employee creativity. The results also enlighten the positive relationship of knowledge
sharing and thriving at work on employee creativity, and the significant negative relationship of
servant leadership on burnout. Whereas, knowledge sharing and thriving at work mediates the
relationship between servant leadership and employee creativity. Captivatingly, burnout
remains insignificant between servant leadership and employee creativity. Thus, the study
findings will redound to organizational benefits by enriching research on the area of servant
leadership, which is in its infancy till now. However, the study will be useful for both
organizations and employees to achieve desired outcomes.
