Makale Özeti:

This qualitative study explored the influence a distance learning servant leadership
course had on the emergency service students’ understanding of leadership. The
research study utilized a case study design in order to tell the story of the lived
experiences of the participants. The setting for the study was a state university in Utah,
with the six participants being declared, undergraduate emergency services majors that
underwent a 15-week distance learning servant leadership class. The data used in the
study consisted of the post-hoc online eJournal writings of the participants. The data
analysis revealed to two themes that formed the individual case descriptions presented
in results section. The literature review acknowledged the problem of bureaucracy within
the emergency services and identified the practice of servant leadership as a possibility
for overcoming the often-bureaucratic approach towards leadership. In addition, the
literature review identified commonalities between established constructs of servant
leadership and the emergency services. The findings of the study seem to demonstrate
that undergoing a class on servant leadership left lasting impressions on becoming a
servant leader and overall was a positive experience for the student. This study’s
findings add to the existing body of knowledge associated with servant leadership within
emergency service academia.
