Abstract:
This study aims to identify the impact of servant leadership and its role in achieving project success through an applied study on the employees of the INGOs in southern governorates of Palestine, Gaza Strip. Researchers used questionnaire as a main tool for data collection, and the descriptive and analytical approach to conduct the study results. The study population consists of INGOs (320) employees who work in project management positions. Researchers used the stratified random sampling method, and (175) questionnaires were distributed, while (145) questionnaires were retrieved with a response rate (82.8%). SPSS for statistical data analysis and a multiple regression method to measure the impact were used. The results of the study showed that there is a statistically significant effect of servant leadership among employees in INGOs on project success by 83.8 %. Also results showed that management works hardly to meet the needs of targeted group, servant leadership, provide an active contribution to institutional development and Servant leaders do not have a particular affinity for the abstract organization; rather, they value the people who constitute the organization. Furthermore, findings showed that projects are in line with the needs of the target group, and project services lightly continue after project terminated or funding suspended. Gender issue might not practice widely according to local Palestinian traditions. The study suggested more a free environment, in which INGOs operate, which is also a key factor in the good functioning of project success. INGOs must be given a fair set of rights and duties in their relation to the government, as well as be able to play their role as catalysts of a vibrant civil society without any correlation with foreign agendas. The focus on poverty and the methodologies being developed to identify and quantify these characteristics for better interventions. Also, looking for a positive model to achieve sustainability for the projects especially once the funds are withdrawn or halted.
