Emotional Intelligence and Trust in Servant Leadership

Limitations and recommendations

Future research studies utilising the survey method should aim to implement measures to prevent mono-method (and possible response set) bias. Furthermore, due to the cross-sectional nature of the data, causality of the relationships between the variables could not be determined.

It is evident that opportunities exist for future studies to further explore the relationships between emotional intelligence, trust and servant leadership. There exists an opportunity to explore a number of other constructs and their relationships with the constructs utilised in this study.
