Abstract

The purpose of this general review is to present philosophical foundation of the tenets of Greenleaf’s take on the concept of servant leadership and how it applies to volunteerism from the participant’s perspective. The author describes discovering and following the call to volunteerism from the perspective of the volunteer, and explains how the precepts of servant leadership apply to volunteers and their altruistic approach to volunteerism. An extensive review of the literature, including recent journal articles and works, considers various aspects of servant leadership as it pertains to the volunteer community. Findings include an explanation of how higher epistemic cognition is achieved in volunteerism through follower growth by means of self-actualization. Practical and social implications are also given.
