| Abstract: The rise of hybrid work environments has made employee retention even more challenging, as these new work models have transformed traditional leadership and workplace structure. while hybrid work offers flexibility and greater autonomy, it can sometimes diminish employee sense of belonging and weaken interpersonal relationship, potentially increasing their likelihood of leaving the organization. In this context servant leadership has emerged as a crucial and meaningful leadership has emerged as a crucial and meaningful leadership approach, focusing on ethical values, empathy, and genuine care for employee well-being. This conceptual study explores how servant leadership influences employee turnover intention in diverse and varied work environments. Based on insights from leadership and organization behavior research, this study argues that servant leadership helps foster trust, strengthen emotional connection, and improve employees’ perception of organization support in physical and virtual work settings. By considering turnover intention as a relational and psychological outcome, this study adds value to the current understanding of modern leadership and hybrid work practices. furthermore, it provides a theoretical foundation for future empirical research to test and validate this relationship. |
