This study investigates the impact of servant leadership on staff commitment in Uganda's public universities. Servant leadership, which prioritizes the needs of team members and promotes respect and cooperation, is examined for its influence on staff commitment. Data from 214 employees of Ugandan public universities were analyzed using the Servant Organizational Leadership Assessment (SOLA) scale and the Organizational Commitment Scale. The results show a significant and positive correlation between servant leadership behaviors and staff commitment. Servant leadership was found to be a strong predictor of staff commitment, with factors such as valuing people, developing people, and exhibiting authenticity having the most significant impact. The study also found that staff commitment was significantly influenced by servant leadership, with a strong positive correlation between servant leadership and organizational commitment. The findings suggest that servant leadership can enhance staff commitment in Ugandan public universities, and that university administrators should adopt servant leadership practices to improve staff commitment and organizational effectiveness. The study highlights the importance of servant leadership in fostering a supportive and collaborative work environment, which is essential for achieving educational goals in Ugandan public universities.This study investigates the impact of servant leadership on staff commitment in Uganda's public universities.
