The content and structure of several constructs
employed in researching Positive Organisational
Behaviour are subject to certain specificities.
Based on the evidence of previous research the
relationship between four positive organisation
constructs, i.e. servant leadership, trust, team
commitment, and unit effectiveness, deemed
profitable of further investigation.

Taking certain psychometric challenges into account,
the relationships of these specified positive
organisation constructs are addressed by
constructing two measurement and structural equation
models. Results indicated that strong relationships
exist between servant leadership, trust and team
commitment. These variables seem context sensitive,
implying that they are very specific to differing
cultural settings.

This book contributes to the existing body of
knowledge regarding the portability of the
constructs and instruments used for measuring the
concepts, as well as the findings regarding the
pattern of relationships between these concepts.
This book is aimed at assisting professionals in
leadership development and management roles as well
as specialists in this field.
