Abstract:
The financial problems facing many states and local governments have caused some to take unilateral
actions concerning the terms and conditions of employment in unionized environments governed by
collective bargaining agreements. The unilateral actions by the public sector have fostered an
adversarial tension between unions and management in public administration. Servant leadership is an
emerging leadership paradigm, which proponents believe has universal applicability among various
organizations. This paper seeks to present a preliminary literature review and framework seeking to
understand if servant leadership can be applied in an adversarial public administration setting.
