Various studies have indicated that one of the
challenges facing state corporations in Kenya is the issue of commitment as evidenced by a shortage of human
resources both in the headquarters and in the field and poor service delivery. Employees in these corporations
are said to work only within the working hours and consider any work outside these working hours to be none of
their concern or their responsibility. This study therefore seeks to explore the role of servant leadership on
organizational commitment in Kenyan state corporations. Finally, this study develops a conceptual framework
that attempts to explain the relationship between servant leadership and employee organizational commitment.
