Abstract
This study examines the influence of servant leadership and interpersonal trust on organisational performance. It involves a questionnaire-based survey of employees from two financial institutions operating in Cyprus prior to the 2013 financial crisis. 186 usable questionnaires were subjected to a series of factor and correlational analyses using SPSS and the Analysis of Moment Structures graphics software. The results revealed three major findings. First, there is a positive and significant relationship between servant leadership and interpersonal trust. Second, the relationship between interpersonal trust and performance is positive, strong and significant. Finally, the results support that interpersonal trust mediates the relation between servant leadership and performance. Theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed and directions for future research are provided.
