Using the t-test and path analysis with the p-values < 0.050 and all t-values > 2.000, the results obtained was that the practice of servant leadership principals directly and positively affects work engagement, extra-role behaviour, and teacher performance. The results of the tests proved that extra-role behaviour and employee performance could be improved through the practice of servant leadership and increased work engagement. © 2022 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.
