Pengaruh Servant Leadership terhadap Kinerja Pendeta Generasi Milenial dengan Adversity Quotient sebagai Moderator

Abstract

The population of millennial pastors, which is increasingly dominant in church institutions today, urges the church to implement appropriate strategies in managing their characteristics and potentials. Appropriate management strategies can encourage millennials to contribute more to achieving the institution's goals realized through performance. The performance of pastors is the entirety of behaviors exhibited by pastors in carrying out their roles and duties as employees and servants of the church that are relevant to the church institution's goals. One effective management strategy to encourage the performance of millennial pastors is the application of servant leadership. The application of servant leadership will be more effective if millennial pastors have the ability to understand, analyze, and manage challenges faced in their work and ministry, referred to as adversity quotient. This study aims to observe and analyze the effect of servant leadership on the performance of millennial pastors in the Simalungun Protestant Christian Church (GKPS), as well as to test whether adversity quotient can moderate that effect. Data was obtained through three scales namely The Individual Work Performance Questionnaire, Servant Leadership Questionnaire, and Adversity Response Profile scale with a sample size of 102 individuals. Based on the proposed hypothesis, this study concludes that servant leadership has a positive and significant effect on the performance of millennial pastors by 61.5%. Meanwhile, adversity quotient is not a good moderator in the influence of servant leadership on the performance of millennial pastors.
