Abstract
Cultures tend to influence the behavior of individuals due to years of socialization and globalization. This research surveyed the responses of 600 Afghan-Americans to better understand their orientation toward servant leadership based on gender, age, and place of birth. The respondents had high scores for servant leadership orientation and there was a statistically significant difference between the scores of male and female respondents. Younger respondents had a significantly higher tendency toward a servant leadership orientation than their older counterparts. Finally, those who were born in Afghanistan had a higher servant leadership score than respondents who were born in the United States. Suggestions, implications, and future research avenues are presented.
Keywords : Afghans, Afghanistan, Gender, Servant Leadership, Culture and Socialization.
